High uptime but unpredicatble behaviour (machine slowing), any way to fix without rebooting?

Hi All,
        I am running machine having 2.2.12 kernel and its been running under
moderate loads for 313 days. But now I find the kernel behaving errtically
including dumping core while running top and recovering sometimes. Any idea
why the machine has such a high system load? I would want to make this
machine run more longer time than to reboot. It would be a shame to reboot
the machine.

Any suggestions most welcome.

Thanks
Zameer A.
