Weird server issues

I'm running a server on CentOS 4.0, Celeron-D processor, Gigabyte motherboard, Seagate HDD.

It's been running fine for a few months, however up until recently it's been acting up. The server goes into this semi-responsive mode, whereby I can ping the machine, I can Putty into it and get the username prompt; but I can never fully SSH into it, as it hangs on password entry.

I can't view any pages in HTTP, nor can I receive emails.

Physically restarting the machine acts as a quick fix, after a few hours it screws up again.

I can't think of anything that would have caused this, I'm hoping receive some sort of solution of further help here.
