    All this is happening after the recent windows updates, how should i fix this issue now?

  • Is this persistent or just after a server startup?

    Have you rebooted the server?

    How much free disk space do you have?

    How much memory is in use on the server?

    Is SQL Server the only thing installed on this server?

  • I got this from another post that had one of the same error messages. May or may not apply:

    And then again, I might be wrong ...

  • Is this persistent or just after a server startup?

    -- Yes problem persists all the time

    Have you rebooted the server?

    -- Many times

    How much free disk space do you have?

    -- so much nearly 2TB

    How much memory is in use on the server?

    -- 15g out of 36gb

    Is SQL Server the only thing installed on this server?

    --yes

    David.. I think that solution applied only to sql 2000, is there an article for 2005 with same issue ?

    ONe other thing i am seeing is that, every time i restart sql agent, "Agent Xp's" are disabled, i have revonfigure it manually.

  • Have you looked for a problem SPID, one that is just beating the crap out of the CPU?

    SELECT * FROM sys.dm_exec_sessions

    SELECT * FROM sys.dm_exec_connections

    SELECT * FROM sys.dm_exec_requests

    George: You're kidding.
    Elroy: Nope.
    George: Then lie to me and say you're kidding.

  • Do you have any additional errors in the system event logs?
