Hi Lon,
Thanks for your help , actually after starting the pulse , everything 
going well,  10-20 web request it handle properly , but within a minutes 
Machine hangs , i don't why , I tried to troubleshoot by attaching the 
console with server ,no kernel panic or other error message displayed in 
console.

I checked /var/log/message for any error ,but i couldn't find any clue.
If problem with hardware or software configuration then even single 
request shouldn't be handled , but it properly work for 10-20 requests, 
but after some idle time it hangs.

Regards
Ritesh
