The server does not appear to be under undue load. /var/log/dmesg doesn't show anything (it hasn't been modified since May 4th), the access_log entries just stop, nothing in /var/log/messages, and nothing in /var/log/apache2/error_log until just before it comes back up, each time with:
When I say nothing, I mean nothing anywhere near the time frame of the actual crashes. After that it comes back up and just resumes normally as far as I can tell. In the ChkServd email from cpanel it tells me that the loads averages at the time it detected the service being down were 0.16 0.07 0.46, it was using 1.95 GB of 15.51 GB ram, with 13.57 GB available. The startup logs in the email, from the previous crash:

And the disk was nowhere near full. I am not sure where to look next. -Michael

I have a server with Apache crashing every couple of hours like clockwork since the last round of server updates this morning. It's running PHP 5.6 amongst other versions. I'll check this out, thanks!
ssh in and run:/scripts/upcp
They just patched it a few hours ago. -Michael0
