Check for tasks that are running around that time of the day when the processor becomes taxed. There may be a process that is not functioning correctly and is hogging CPU.

Run a performance monitor on various counters will help find the cause.

I had the same issue finaly had to move the website causing it. There is a request or action getting looped or hung in the DB this is causing the server to take all the processing power and killing the servers performance.

Do you know which task is hogging the CPU?

Most IIS webservers usually has the index service running, and indexing the whole server, which takes alot of CPU resource, mine kept reindexing every few minutes.

Open the management console > services > indexing > system, and remove or stop the root directories c:\ etc.. being indexed.

I only left the web directory being indexed on mine.
