Every night my IIS hangs with 3 w3wp.exe processen in the task manager list. It is not possible to kill the w3wp task using the most memory. Not even iisreset helps. I have to reboot the machince to get rid of the w3wp prosess.
Any suggestions?

Added: I have reduced the maxmemory of the default app pool to 120, but still the process goes above 200mb.

In the app-pool, set a limit on memory use, that will restart the app. when it uses too much memory. Might help.
From the screen shot, I cannot see problems such as high CPU utilization or huge memory usage.
You can learn how to use Debug Diagnostics to capture a hang dump and then analyse the dump with Debug Diagnostics. Its report should provide you some hints.
If you cannot do that yourself, I suggest you contact our Microsoft Support team.
I did not find a permament solution to my problem, but when i removed some web sites from my vps and reduced the max memory allowed for the default app pool the situation improved. I also removed the admin website which ran under its own appPool.
