I'd recommend some really basic troubleshooting (which you may have 
done, but since you haven't mentioned what you've done so far, I'm 
starting at square one).  Check your system logs, Nagios logs, and any 
other logs that may be related. Check your disk space. Check dmesg.

Symptoms like you're describing could be the result of bad RAM, a full 
disk, or a corrupted/old/buggy copy of Nagios. Mentioning which version 
you're running, how it was installed, and, well,  any specifics at all 
about your setup would be really helpful to someone trying to point you 
in the right direction.
