I have an SBS 2003 server running a SQL database application off of
it's "T" drive. If I run disk cleanup while database usage is high the
system freezes, and then gives the blue screen of death. Assuming
hardware is fine, is there any reason this would happen? Or is it best
to not to a disk cleanup unless users are out of the database on that
drive? Basically, I just want to know if it's normal for a disk
cleanup to drain so much of the CPU's resources.

All it was doing was compressing 40 MB of old files.
 
I would save "disk cleanup" for periods of low activity and also disable
the "compress old files" check in the registry.
