Does your machine sleep periodically or randomly?
could be some cron job that writes to some device like a tape.....
checking messages should help.
also it is possible some real memory hog process is being run by an user,
something like opening a lot ofsockets and trying to tie up the servers resources.
did you install some new s/w yesterday since you mentioned this problem was
discovered yesterday..
