ASP constantly restarting (Windows 2000 Server)

I've been looking for and wide for an answer to this and
while I think I understand the problem I'm stuck as to how
to solve it.

I run a Windows 2000 Server and one of my sites is quite
database intensive and uses a mixture of PHP and ASP
scripts to access an Access database using a system DSN.
Lately I've been having problems with ASP. Occasionally I
or a user receives the "RPC server is unavailable" error
message on a web site. I've set the application protection
to "High" in IIS and have been able to locate which site is
responsible for these errors, however it turns out to be my
site (W3SVC/1) and I have no idea what to do next since I
have dozens of ASP scripts written over the course of
several years and any one of them could be causing this.

Here are the messages that I've been seeing in the System
Log and Application Log. During heavy traffic periods I'm
seeing the ASP entry up to every few minutes, and during
low traffic it goes fine for hours. Can anyone point me in
the right direction? I'm really stuck and I'm all out of
ideas other than converting all my ASP to PHP since those
scripts are running fine.

What can I do?
