We're going to need a bit more to go on.

Is it the whole server or just your backend? Did it used to work? What
changed? If you revert changes does it work again? Is the server
otherwise healthy? Are you exceeding something (number of connections,
open file limits or anything else you can think of) so that PG or the OS
is killing the backend? Is the server on the same machine that you are
connecting from? What OS? What do the PostgreSQL server logs say
(increase logging verbosity if necessary)?
