Site frontend is working fine and in admin side only dashboard and configuration first page is working. other pages in admin side is giving this error "cache_dir is not writable". I checked the cache and var folder permission ,permission is set to 0777. I deleted the cache folder too. error is still not gone.

You'll get this error if your disk is full or partition has run outof inodes. Also check if /tmp/magento exists. Usually it's that partition that's the real cause. In these cases, suphp or mod_ruid is usually in play, denying access to the var/ directory because it's owner is not the right user and Magento will fall back to /tmp/magento. Then add the default tmp_dir for php sessions and MySQL temporary tables and you have your scenario for randomly seeing this error.
