We are experiencing very high CPU usage on our server.
It is Xeon 5520 with 24GB of RAM.
The cause of this is the process kstopmachine.
Here is a list of processes from htop:

Can someone help us with this.
We have already made FSCK and set another kernel.
uname -a is:
Linux hostname 2.6.18-308.8.2.el5.028stab101.1 #1 SMP Sun Jun 24 20:25:35 MSD 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Any advice would be great.
Thank you.
