What does CPU at 100% have to do with logs growing? Sorry, but there's just not enough info here to really say much

btw, if the log files are shrinking, then you've either got autoshrink on, or you're manually shrinking. You should be doing neither. If autoshrink is on, turn it off.

Based on the info you have given to Gail so far I would guess that your next questions is 'how do i turn of auto shrink?' Answer: run the script below inserting your database name over the {..}.

USE [master]

ALTER DATABASE [{DATABASE_NAME_HERE}] SET AUTO_SHRINK OFF WITH NO_WAIT

GO
