CAUSE
These errors indicate you have run out of paging file space. The less

non-paged memory in larger amounts and run them more judiciously.

Applications can tell Windows NT how much of themselves can be placed
in the non-paged pool. There is a limit to the amount of objects a
system can have in non-paged memory at any time.
