      Turn it off and turn it back on again. Seriously.

        If, after you have used the piebalds solution and checked the hard disks for space and your memory usage on the server, it is still a problem, turn on SQL profiler and run the reports, then analyse the action plan an determine if you have a problem with the queries. If after optimising your queries you still have an issue do some research into Parameter Sniffing, this is a long shot. If you still have a problem then hire a DBA consultant to look at your database!

          You could also try using the sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats[^] to look at the average fragmentation of your tables to identify any that have a higher level of fragmentation and then use REORGANIZE or REBUILD[^] to correct them.
