Do you have a diagnostic app such as Dell Open Manage (or whatever one is
provided by the server manufacturer) installed on your SBS? That would be
the best place to check for a hardware issue. Otherwise, you can just
visually inspect the server and see if everything appears to be working
properly, it's displaying the correct amount of RAM (Task Manager) etc.

Do you have the server plugged into a server-quality UPS? If not, that
would be something to look into sooner rather than later.

After a power supply failure on a server without redundant power supplies, I
had somewhat similar symptoms that were resolved by restoring system state
and doing an authoritative Active Directory restore. The event log was not
terribly clear, but showed a few LDAP errors when the system started.
Resources were being consumed by SQL Server and some other apps because of
continuous authentication failures.
