My server goes out of memory everyday after the 4.2 upgrade. I have tried several things to optimize mysql but could not solve this.

I get the below email everyday and when i check the server it show very high loads and then mysql goes down, which i have to restart :

Out of memory: The process “mysqld” was terminated because the system is low on memory.
In order to avoid a system crash due to low memory, the kernel terminated the process named “mysqld” with the process ID “24638”.

I can't see it relating directly to the 4.2 upgrade, the amount of queries on the db has been significantly reduced.

What is actually causing the high loads? i.e. if you run a 'top' what does it show. (when it's going slow) Sometimes mysql failing can be a side effect of another process using up too much resources.

Also ensure you have all these settings:

You can tweek the my.cnf file to prevent mysql from using all memory. You can also increase your swap to prevent system crash.
