TFS Build randomly wont run

We have a TFS 2010 build server. After running a Queue Build upon a build definition of a VS sln or msbuild file, randomly (around 30%) the build process won't run. The build log window showed only 3 tabs: Activity Log, Next Error, and Next Warning. After a few minutes, say 10 minutes, I had to press the Stop Build. The build server is not busy at all.

Have you seen/heard similar things? Could you help?

Cheers

Could you give it a try to let him run until the timeout is reached. From your comments it looks like he is doing the Get Workspace when you stop the build. Please check the workspace that is defined for your build definition. I had one a project team that created there own build and wondered why it takes so long to build, unfortunately the included the whole TeamProject (about 6GB), which were getted every time the build was queued.

While it randomly works, does it depend on the build agent that is used or do you just have one build agent?
