Hm, old thread resurrected. I still can't answer the question with exact precision, what I'd do in such situation (when "the roof is on fire"): examine all logs, or as much as I can, make sure that there isn't an application that may be causing this, ensure that I'm the only one, or if any other trusted person, to access the server with root or other privileges, examine the possibilities of upgrading this server to the latest software (that helps sometimes), or last resort - clean install of the whole server - start with the OS and then the used software. Contact respective vendors, if applicable. Do a hardware troubleshooting (memory, disks, controllers). Be extremely cautious when doing something like this on a production server.
