problems with Drupal an CentOs 5

Hello, I have a recently updated Centos 5 virtual machine with php 5.1.6, mysql 5.0.77, apache 2.2.3 and Drupal 5.22, when I start the httpd they creates 5 child proces that became bigger and freeze the machine in some hours.

Can someboy help us? somebody has had the same problem?

A lot of thanks.

Going to be hard to guess

You could at least post what your httpd.conf file looks like. But my first guess is that your system just doesn't have enough memory to run your particular Drupal setup with the amount of load it's getting. Are you using a lot of modules? How much RAM does your VPS have?

The machine has 2Gb.

Here is the httpd.conf:
