Hi, This looks like a script that is running out of control. We've had similar things here, except that our problem was the script writer failed to close the mysql connections. The user was waiting for data which never came, hit cancel, then tried again. The scripts used pconnect calls. This brought a 30,000 Euro server to its knees several times by eating all the available sockets, at least until we found out what the problem was.
In your case, set the max execution time for scripts to something short like 10 seconds. Consider also disabling ini_set because we also had problems with users playing with our settings and stressing our server. Be sure that all uri includes are disabled too (XSS attack problems). To find the exact script is difficult. Something to note is your CPU usage has 65% system. Look for scripts that were uploaded around the times your server started having problems, then try to run them is one possibility to find out what's happening. Look in the databases for connections that are open and idle. Also, if your server comes down off its high load, look in the apache log files to see which scripts just completed. Unfortunately apache writes to the logs only after the script or data has been (un)successfully sent.
