My server load normally only about 1 or below, the server running normally for days, not get high load

when i check in whm >> Service Status, the Swap Used report always zero (0), not used at all :

Swap Used 0.00% (0 of 10169104)




but when Swap Used sometime, even the swap used very very small size, only 4k, or 88k like below, the server start sometime get high load, can be few times a day. And to make the Swap Used zero (0) again, i need to Gracefull Reboot

in whm - Service Status :

Swap Used 0.00% (4 of 10169104)
or
Swap Used 0.00% (88 of 10169104)



the Memory Used when Swap Used is only about 25-50%, i believe the memory 8Gb is still big, the problem maybe because the harddrive/harddisk rpm are too slow



please help guys How to disable the Swap Used? so the server only using the memory, not swapped using harddrive/harddisk too





Nb. Here are the server specs :
Core i7 860 Quad Core - SINGLE CPU QUAD CORE 2.8GHZ FSB 2.5 GT/s (8MB CACHE) w/HT
Control Panel: CPanel/WHM - Centos 5 64 Bit
RAM/Memory: 8GB DDR3
Primary Hard Drive: 1TB SATA

the high load only come when Swap Used, and i need to Gracefull reboot to make the Swap Used 0 (zero) again

screenshot when Swap Used are not 0 (zero), there will be high load (load can be 20-100) in that day for few minutes/hours, in this screenshot still normal load
