kswapd killing server


Hi,

I am helping a friend addesing an issue with one of his servers.
The server seems to go down once every hour or so.

I managed to get a copy of top output from server before it froze:

5 root 15 0 0 0 0 RW 24.4 0.0 2:35 kswapd

1080 root 15 0 128 80 44 S 1.3 0.0 0:01 crond


After server hangs, it sometimes comes back up in 15-20 mins and some times need a hard reboot.

It seems to me that it is kswapd causing this?
Any suggestions on how to track the problem down?
