You've got a good start on your troubleshooting and now you need to dig deeper.

tcp 0 0 65.60.37.176:80 218.104.129.24:46443 SYN_RECV -

That could be part of your problem, but you will need to use TOP & ps -xla (see the process number so you can kill it) to find out more. Could be you've got a runaway script or .htaccess file creating and endless loop. Could be other things also (Spammer sending out, DDoS attack), but the above would be a good starting point.
