It sounds like you have some process using too much memory, or you have
faulty hardware. It should not behave like that unless there is
something eating all the memory, in which case you would see the buffer
cache shrink as things are evicted to give to the hungry process(es).
Here's your options anyway, but I wouldn't use any of them until I knew
what was going wrong.
