COM+ Event System exception C0000096

My wife's computer showed the following error in the Application Log of the
Event Viewer three times this afternoon within a one hour period. I added
the Administrative Tools option to the computer yesterday after she
complained of it rebooting several times while she was using it during the
last couple of days. The computer has an AMD-K6 500 processor with 384MB of
RAM installed and the operating system is Windows 2000 Professional 5.00.2195
Service Pack 4.

Could someone help me resolve this trouble and let me know if it is hardware
or software related? I have searched the Microsoft Knowledge Base with no
luck finding any procedure to help diagnose or reslove the problem.

Thanks,

James
