High Cpu Load on all virtual machines

Hi, I have been using proxmox 4.4 for 1.5 months till now. And have used 2.4 for almost 6 years without any problem.
Last two days the virtual machines started using high CPU from 10% average to 100%... The php requests on one VM got quite slow. Before this happened I did not install / update / vm modifications on the host.

The main symptom is slow CPU processing on VM and high cpu load on guest, with almost no thread...

I tested all the hardware and I didn't found nothing wrong, also upgraded to the last proxmox version (kernel, ...)

Anyone knows what might be happening?

Code:
CPU usage 89.98% of 8 CPU(s)
IO delay 0.12%
Load average 6.34,5.56,5.30
RAM usage 32.77% (10.26 GiB of 31.32 GiB)
KSM sharing 0 B
HD space(root) 12.34% (2.36 GiB of 19.10 GiB)
SWAP usage 0.00% (0 B of 2.00 GiB
