I keep getting an alert from a Third-Party Tool stating my server is reporting failed components with the following message

Components Reporting Problems:
Average Lock Wait Time(ms)(Critical)

When I look at sp_who2 or sp_lock I don't see anything blocking processes or anything else out of the ordinary. Then again, I may not know what I'm looking for. Since I'm still fairly new, any ideas on this???
