If its a hardware issue, newer hardware powerful enough to run this forum isn't too expensive. But I'm assuming since you haven't fixed it yet then its a software problem, and since migrating software is a massive pain I totally understand the outages. A simple temporary fix would be to write a script that restarts the server if it goes down.
It's a bit of both but hardware should solve it. Since the forum is running on older software, I run into compatability issues trying to move to newer hardware. I don't want to lose the massive archive of posts so I can only migrate to hardware that could run with older software. That's why I'm in a bit of a rut getting it done. Already have the restart script for a while but doesn't always bail me out.
