CPU stuck at 100. Server Unreachable.

[peterallcdn]

Hello,

About once a month my server becomes unreachable. My host tells me that the CPU is pinned at 100 and that they rebooted it. But they won't tell me why it gets pinned.

Can anyone tell me where I should look, what logs etc, to find out why the CPU gets pinned?

CENTOS 6.9 x86_64 vmware
cPanel & WHM 64.0 (build 18)

Thanks!

Thanks. I'll take a look and hopefully it helps... I'm no expert when it comes to non-cPanel parts of the server.
