CPU SPIKES

Folks
Since Friday i am seeing High CPU Spikes on our app / db server. the Sql server process is currently consuming about 60+ % cpu. There is not much going on at the database level ? I am not sure what is causing the spikes
This is really abnormal behaviour on the this server.
Please any help would be really appreciate
Thank

Occassional spikes are pretty normal in SQL Server. Or is it a constant 60+%
CPU usage?
See the "How to Do SQL Server Performance Trend Analysis" articles series
