High Load Averages on my Forum- whostmgr2 - top ./top
Hey guys I will initially admit that I do NOT know lunux. My forum uses it though and up until now I have never had an issue.
About 4 days ago after heavy traffic the forum kept crashing. Load averages were up and cpu usage for whostmgr2 - top ./top was high.
Traffic is back down yet the forum keeps crashing.
I keep restarting Apache, this helps for about 5 minutes and then the forum will crash again. Ive set my forum load averages to put the forum on standby if they get too high but its just a temporary fix.
Could someone maybe help?
Further Info:

Define "keeps crashing".
Could be an unclean filesystem - could be lots of things. When the loadavg is "high" , run the following from a terminal, and post the topsave.txt it creates
Code:
top -b -n 1 | awk '{if (NR <=7) print; else if ($8 == "D") {print; count++} } END {print "Total status D: "count}' > topsave.txt
