I suspect there’s a problem with the hard drive. Periodically the machine will simply freeze, leaving no clues in the log files. Upon reboot, fsck is very unhappy and produces the following type of output to fix approximately 30 errors:
Try out smartd: http://sourceforge.net/projects/smartmontools/ , although I'd suggest finding the rpm of it that came with your distribution. I use it to monitor discs in all my systems, and it has warned me about two discs that were on their way to bad.
Peace.
