500 Internal Server Error

[DaGreatPanda]

I've gotten ATLEAST 10 of these in the last 5 minutes on this site. Why? It usually isn't this bad, what is causing the server to be so slow? I compared the time to other sites that I usually go to, I even went as far as to reset my modem. No change. Could I get an answer as to why I keep getting these..

You probably hit the server during the daily mysql backup - this causes extremely high server load and may make the server unresponsive for 10-15 minutes

Eh. Could be. Though it still does it every once and awhile regardless of the time. But that makes more sense as to why it was so slow for about 20 minutes.
