WHS 03 - Machine lag out issue

[Michael Orsino]

At seemingly random times my Windows Home Server box, hosting a CD0.3.6pl1 real map server and XAMPP's apache+mysql, goes to absolute shit.
The machine completely lags out, the OTS stops responding, as do apache and mysql. After a long while of seriously intense machine lag the OTS process will die, and the machine will make a full recovery.
I was able to bring up the task manager last time it happened, where I noted that the OTS memory usage had spiked to 1,500,000.

I can still SSH or remote desktop into the machine, though it is intensely lagged.

Ive had a few theories but none solved it, feel free to suggest.

I thought WHS was mainly ment for things like backup, media streaming and those kinds of things... not professional hosting stuff. oO;

It is, mainly.
But regardless of that, it can - or at least should be able to - handle intense hosting also.
