Check growth rate in database properties- files? We set to 512 MB not 10-20%?

Please even check the Log file of the database.It might have grown unexpectedly.May need to shrink it.

Try doing transactional log backup frequently to control log growth.

U can monitor the growth of the file with the profiler.
