This (along with the process list copied from 'top') is not enough.  I
suspect that you have several processes in state 'D' which is
"uninterruptable sleep".  Run 'ps auxwww' and search for any 'D's in the
STAT column.  They won't be using any CPU, but if they're hanging out in
that state they could indicate some other kind of problem, possibly
hardware related.
