Runaway process on Windows Web Server 2008 R2

We are running Windows Web Server 2008 R2 and occasionally getting, what looks like a runaway process which starts hogging a lot of memory and CPU power.


In task manager I can see the process is a w3wp.exe (IIS worker process), and I can see the application pool attached to it. The problem is the same application pool is shared by many sites.


Is it possible to delve deeper into this process to try and glean more information as to what it's actually doing?


Thanks.
