    Can anyone explain the root cause of this issue ?

  • Is AWE enabled on the SQL Server? How much memory do you have allocated to SQL Server - if more then 2 GB you will recieve this error.

    we have allocated 6 GB out of 8 GB to sql server and also enabled the AWE on the server.

    Can you elaborate on this ?

  • Did you just recently enable the PAE/AWE? When did you first receive the error?

    Take a look at this great article by Jim Mcleod on enabling and AWE
