VPS - spamd & nameserver fails
Hello, recently i have been receiving emails from cpanel saying that spamd and nameserver fails in separate emails of course.
This has happend once when running, and everytime when rebooting my VPS. I have no idea what to do, I'm new with Linux and VPS.

Those emails are sent by cPanel monitoring system called chkservd. If it sees a service unavailable, it restart the service and send an email to the administrator email ID.
You have to check the logs of respective services and figure out whats wrong with the service, for example,
mysql = /var/lib/mysql/server.hostname.err
ssh = /var/log/messages
In respect to CPU usage, you have to provide more details, like output of
