apache breaking from time to time?

hi
my apache broke around 22:00h
since it was an entire hour, I checked cron logs and found (most suspicious):
/usr/lib/sa/sa1 1 1 (runs each 10 minutes)
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/dcpumon (runs each 5 minutes)
/usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/bin/dnsqueue (runs each 15 minutes)

none of these seens to be the case... but I found out that main logs had rotated:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5603 Nov 26 22:01 access_log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 263610 Nov 26 22:01 error_log

so can this be the cause?

which script make them rotate? maybe dcpumon?

PS: this is happening like once a week or two... and I can't start apache... I need to to "killall -9 httpd" first and then start (so maybe some script cause a memory problem that makes apache to die, but not the process, or something like that?)
