You need to get you diagnosing hat on. This could be a hundred different things but if it's the main first thing I would try is turning off every breaker in the panel and then resetting th main. If it stays work on from there.

heating from a bad stab can trigger the main to trip. A bad main can trip by itself. But do yourself a favor, with all branch ckt breakers off and main off, test for continuity from load side of main to ground. This will keep you from looking like wil e coyote just incase you have a bus bar fault.
