It's not the process that's hung - it's the Scheduler.
SQL Server has its own internal scheduler that takes over from the os
scheduler.
I believe that some of the 2000 scheduler concepts were first in 7.0....
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsqldev/html/Sqldev_02252004.asp
Try this
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;814693
Also check to see if any processes are running on the server like;
Virus Scan (on access and scheduled scans) and backups agents that may be
directly accessing the SQL Server files (mdf, ndf, ldf). SQL Server does not
like anything messing with it's files.
Also check the event log on the server to see if there are any delayed
read/writes or dropouts.
If scheduler 0 is hung then you will probably need to reboot (this is the
parent scheduler).
I see this a lot on 2000 32bit and more on 64 bit, most of the time it
clears itself.
About 1 out of 40 we have to restart SQL Server.

PSS(uid,spid,0), we can find out which process is hung. However, when we

However, in these few months, it had been restarted 2-4 times EVERYDAY.
