server load go maxed

I'm running a cpanel/whm box

I detect the problem that cause my server load to go maxed but wonder how to solve it permanently. The following is the step taken to solve the problem temporary whenever the server load go maxed:

1. login to WHM and under service manager uncheck eximstats and syslogd
(note: without eximstats and syslogd disable, server load go maxed immediately after
server restart and unable to ssh to server)
2. restart the server
3. ssh to the server and remove file in /usr/local/apache/domlogs
3. go to service manager and enable eximstats and syslogd again

This service has to be done daily otherwise the server load will go up to 18, I just worry server will crash.

In my tweak settings, under Stats and Logs, I have checked "Delete each domain's access logs after stats run"

My biggest problem now is I don't know what go wrong as the domlogs is not clear after stats run, or I also wonder maybe some other service that cause the server to go maxed. I also not sure whether backup cause the problem. Currently I run daily backup to /home/backup.

my server intel Xeon 2.8Ghz with 1GB Ram, /home space use is only 20%. Anybody can please advise me on how to solve this problem.
