Tell me. Does that sound like a crash? To me the server is well alive.

And if you are using default configuration, you must be experiencing a real
pathetic performance for a real world load.

Try tuning the database. There are too many tips to put in one place. but
editing /var/lib/data/postgresql/postgresql.conf ( I hope I am right, I am too
used to do pg_ctl by hand. Never used services provided by disro.s) is first
step. You need to read the admin guide as well.
