I have 3 machines that crash because of resource drain. I have spent few minutes and figured out that in the END Task window there is a program WINOLDAP. It is running in the backgroud and replicating. As long as the user goes to end task and closes30 - 40 instances of it every day, the machines run fine. If the winoldap is allowed to spawn system crashes.
Anybody heard of an issue like this?
I just took over from an old admin and those 3 machines are not a priority so i never have time to really check them out.
They are all K6 400 with 128 mb ram.

As it is across several machines , it is either a common program all are using, and this can be checked by disconnecting them one at a time to determine which one is the culprit , also I would look to the help files to see if this is a common problem that is caused by particular setups , lastly deep scan for an annoying lite Worm/virus. if you can't resolve it contact MS customer support , and don't forget to check out the data on the other answer , good luck
