do you have forced writes on this db set to ON? if not then do it and see if
you get the same result. I would think not.
IF you do have forced writes set to ON, then I think you will need to tell
us more about whta these processes are doing. If it's always the same
process which crashes, then let's talk more about that one.
When it crashes, do you still see CPU activity running on that
process/thread?
The process whcih crashes, is it dealing with inserts? or are all processes
only selects?
You can see there are is a lot more info to provide.
