When you say hanging, do you mean the CF process, or the entire machine? If the entire machine is locking, then it's probably not a software issue at all, or it's a Windows problem.

Have you examined the logs to see if anything obvious jumps out, like on template in particular running before the crash, or a particular template hanging a thread consistently? Usually I need both the web logs and the cf logs side by side to get a good picture of what is going on. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
