The process was very interesting and enlightening.
The MySQL/Vbulletin guru that I use is a fantastic guy. He spent many hours analysing and trying to pinpoint the cause of the problem but because it was random in nature, he just could not nail it. We tried all sorts of things some seemed to help but many produced no real results. We even put new DRAM in thinking it was a memory problem.
Finally, he got the help of a database guru who has experience in working in one of the top 3 websites in the world. Once he heard the problem was random, his solution was simple...delete the existing database config file and reconfigure a new copy and do a reinstall of the MySQL "core".
Viola!... all the problems went away.
As you can see, the top websites in the world don't bother troubleshooting. They simply do what we do all the time... computer not working properly?... reinstall the OS.
Whatever was going wrong seems to be fixed as it is running smoothly now fingers crossed. X
