Firewall box stop responding

Hi all!

I'm in a situation that is kinda hard to see what's happening. So I'm going
straight to the scenario:
I have a firewall box that somehow stops responding to all services such as
ssh and squid. It does answer ping.
Early this morning I was looking to the messages log with tail -f when it
just stop and then no responses again.

Does anyone have lived this situation?

Here goes an example of the normality of logs when it just stops:

The seconds before (13:35:06) are analogous. Nothing evil has happened.
