Where is my memory leak, and what is 0x28?

Windows crashes every 60 minutes. Upon restart, I check the event logs and it tells me this:

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000001e (0xc0000005, 0xed0232d1, 0x00000000, 0x00000028). Microsoft Windows 2000 [v15.2195]. A dump was saved in: C:\WINNT\MEMORY.DMP.

Using Microsoft's website, I'm led to believe that it's a memory leak (0x1e, 0xc0000005) and it's caused by location 0x28. Unfortunately, I have no idea what 0x28 means. I looked in the device manager, thinking it may be something simple, but it only says that 0x0 - 0xFF is the "PCI Bus".

Strangely, it crashes every 61 minutes, on the dot. Furthermore, this isn't the first time its happened to me. About a month ago, it was happening, and it stopped when I disabled PCAnywhere. Last week it was also happening, but stopped after I installed some Epson printer drivers (much to my surprise). It start again, and I'd really like to know what's going on.

Thanks in advance,

Download and run Memtest86 to test for bad RAM, see if that gets you anywhere.
