Too many defunct and open httpd, mysql connections

This is getting weird. With no sites on yet I have sometimes 90 httpd connections, 20-30 mysldq and some 20 sh ones.

Ther server load goes as high 5.0 sometimes for no reason, becuase there is no traffic yet. I was told by my hosting co to reboot, i did but 2 days later I am on the same boat. I can only guess what will happen when i get 100 at the same time browing.
