System Resource Tracking

Hi there --

I have a system which is suffering from periodic system hangs, resulting in it being rebooted to return to functionality. I ran an memtest86+ check on the system, but there were no hardware problems detected during the scan.

My next step is to track system resources and see which application(s) is/are hogging resources and causing the hangs. My question is, what program can I use to do this? The top utility comes to mind, but what options would I use including piping the output to a file? Thanks.
