Errors

Folks,
This might not be SQL Server related, but nevertheless, it brought our produ
ction sql server to a halt. Does anyone know what these entries mean?
System log:-
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Perflib
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1015
Date: 7/20/2004
Time: 4:24:56 AM
User: N/A
Computer: TOROONDC975
Description:
The timeout waiting for the performance data collection function
"PerfOS" in the "C:\WINNT\system32\perfos.dll" Library to finish
has expired. There may be a problem with this extensible counter
or the service it is collecting data from or the system may have
been very busy when this call was attempted.
Application log:-
Event Type: Information
Event Source: Application Popup
Event Category: None
Event ID: 26
Date: 7/20/2004
Time: 6:45:21 PM
User: N/A
Computer: TOROONDC975
Description:
Application popup: cmd.exe - Application Error : The application
failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click on OK to terminate
the application.
Any guidance is much appreciated.
Karthik.

Not really a SQL Server error. Anyways, the reason this brought our server d
own was because there was about 150 CMD.EXE running when we looked at the un
responsive server in the mo
rning. And we found the errors I have attached in the event viewer.
Thanks.
