Windows Server 2003 VM Running Exchange with Random Bluescreening

I have a Microsoft Exchange 2007 server (x64) that was originally on a physical piece of hardware. However we have P2V'd it into a guest on a VMware ESX host and it seems to be running normally except for one little detail: It bluescreens every 15 or 20 days with the following information:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: System Error
Event Category: (102)
Event ID: 1003

It seems fairly random and there is not a whole lot to go on as far as troubleshooting... I found a MS patch (kb950772) that is supposed to fix "A computer that is running an x64-based version of Windows Server 2003... randomly restarts and then generates a Stop Error" After applying the patch the box seems stable and has yet to throw a stop error.

  1. My issue is the same on this. And couple weeks ago I did everything but I couldn't work out it. Just this day as it seemed to me I discovered the troubles's determination, which should be appropriate here - recover edb files.
