Have you kept an eye on the reports page (admin/reports/dblog) ? If you
can get to the watchdog table, you might see the errors in there.
That's a good place to start. If you can restart the system (do you use
cpanel or plesk? It should have a restart system link or button) and it
works for a while, you might be using up memory or all available mysql
connections. If the only way you can get the system to start again is
dropping the database and re-installing, the database tables are
probably being corrupted. I've seen mysql fail before apache if a
system gets too busy.<br>

forms work, but only for like few hours before the error reappears.

This could mean you've used all of the available memory within the<br>
server after time has elapsed. If you reboot the server instance,<br>
everything, not just Drupal, does it go away for a while?<br>
