LSASS.EXE & svchost.exe going wild!

Is there a better (more appropriate) newsgroup to post
this type of question/problem?

I have been experiencing a problem with a Windows 2000
Server running Terminal Services where the computer slows
to a crawl.

When it happens, LSASS.EXE and svchost.exe jump to 40% and
30% CPU utilization and stay there for several hours
showing continuously skyrocketing I/O counts and memory
usage in Task Mgr.

The only thing that seems to stop this activity is a
reboot, which is extremely slow to proceed since the CPU
is flat out.

I've scanned for a virus, I have all security patches
installed as well as the latest service packs.

Has anyone heard of this before?

Thanks for any help.
