CPU spike won't go away

I have a win2003 server running IIS with dotnet.

Whenver I post a large amount of data to a dotnet application's form box,
the cpu starts to spike up and down indefinitely. I stop IIS but the spike
doesn't go away. Can this really happen even after IIS has been stopped?
How do I find out what process is causing this? Looking at "processes"
doesn't show anything.

It appears the only way to stop this now is by rebooting the server.

I suggest chilled gin and with lime.
 
Depends on what else the server is doing. Watch TaskMan and make sure that
you check the 'show processes from all users' otherwise you may not see the
culprit.

Thanks. I've done that and now see it. The process "w3wp.exe" is taking up
all of the CPU. Stopping IIS doesn't help either. How can this be? Doesn't
IIS time out if a script doesn't stop executing after X seconds?
