Server load: 135? Help!!!

Hi all..

I'm on a dedicated server, all by myself running invisionboard on it.

Today, I restarted the server and it was running just fine for 20 minutes, server loads were under 1, then all of the sudden, within 10 minutes it went as high as 130. There was only 60 or so users, which is very weird as I'm used to having alot more than that and the server can handle it just fine.

Here is a screen shot of a TOP command i did:

I kept watching it, the second the load reached 130, all of the sudden within a minute, the server load kept decreasing back to below 1 without me doing anything. When I when to WebHostManager (CPanel) I saw that Apache crashed and was restarting..

What do you think could be causing this? All these processes, I have no idea where they're coming from.. This keeps happening.

Is there anything else I can do for you guys and post up here so you can figure out what the issue is?

Thanks..
