Reserving memory

[Saga Start]

Recently on one of our production servers (W2K) the Oracle.Exe was consuming 99%-100% CPU and users were unable to create new sessions, getting ORA-12500 error. Even via server console we could not get a SQL*Plus or SVRMGR connection. Tried to shutdown DB using ORADIM but that returned TNS-12560 error. Bottom line we were forced to stop OracleService<sid>. Unfortunatley performance was so bad we were unable to determine which Oracle process was causing issue. We have our suspicions however =:-0

So we're wondering if there is a way, when using dedicated server for session connections of "reserving" some memory to facilitate a connection to database to try a more elegant shutdown (assuming that it would work)? If there is another way of shutting down in such a scenario lets hear about that too!
