Here's a thought.  How much space do you have on the partition(s)?  If you 
run out of space on the partition(s), all the processes will keep their 
data in memory until it is exausted and then the system will freeze.

Which partition is /var/log on?  Daemons constantly write messages to the 
log files and the partition /var/log is on could be filling up.
