Hi Experts,

Please help me in solving this issue, as when i am trying to connect my SQL Server 2008 to an instance i got this error message.

"Attemp to Read or Write Protected Memory. This is an often indication that the other memory is corrupt"

Please let me know if any one of you faced this problem and how to overcome this.

Thank you All in Advance.

Probably just need to reboot the client.

Check the Windows System event log for possible memory errors. Also check the SQL Server Error log for similar messages. You may have bad memory modules that need replacing. If the server has diagnostic software you should run it and check for any warning messages.

If you don't see any such problems and you're still encountering that error, you may have to reboot the SQL Server anyway.

Yeah i am still getting the error and not able to ping the server. I think i need to go for rebooting the server by taking the downtime from the apps owner.

Thank you all for the valuable suggestions.
