PHP.exe is sometimes killing my server.

[Jean-LucP]

I am new to VPS hosting and Plesk. During the last 2 months I had 2x the issue where my server was overwhelmed, and not answering, by php.exe burning all the CPU. Had to connect to the server thru RDP and kill the process.
Actually I don't like killing processes but as I am working on a windows platform in ASP.net I don't need it, does Plesk requires php.exe to run ?

Need more detailed investigation. What is php script is used when you see enormous CPU consuming? Is it admin's PHP or user's PHP?

How is it possible to find out the difference ?

I'm having a similar problem. For me it seems to be when using the Panel to display Websites and Domains, or when using the CLI to add domains.
