Dual Athlon MP: need help !

Hi,
we are currently hosting gameservers. We have 3 Dual Athlon MP servers.

We are having problems with the last one. By typing uptime, the system reports a load of 0.01 but when we look at the cpu usage, it should be higher. Something like 0.50 would be normal.

Also, by looking at cpu usage, it looks like the load is not well balanced between the cpus. CPU usage on our other servers look like this:

CPU0 50%
CPU1 43%

Which seems ok. But on the problematic server, CPU usage is more like:

CPU0: 73%
CPU1: 3%

Sometimes it's the other way around, CPU1 is more used but they never seem to be well balanced.

Server is stable and never crashes but we notice that the server sometimes hang up for a few seconds. While playing on a game server on that machine, from time to time, the game would freeze for 15 seconds.

I tried everything that came to my mind and I can't find the damn problem.

Any help would be much apreciated.

Thank you.
