memory problems, I lose control of the entire server

Hi.
I searched help from several months ago with no success.
So I'll repeat again my problem hoping that this time someone will answer.

I often (3 times in a month) control of my virtual server, so I have to call the provider to soft-reset it. The problem is that apache takes all the memory and the cpu usage of the server, and sometimes after that I have also kernel panic errors.

Even with the server working, I have the apache2 daemons big from 30 to 50 megabytes each one (now I use 9).


In the logs I found stuff like this:
