The first step would be to find out what is happening just before it fails.

Try taking a look at /usr/local/apache/logs/access_log and /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log, comparing the exact time Apache fails with what the logs say. This could tell you a lot.

Also, check what the load is like before Apache fails, and check what processes are running at the time Apache fails.
