I have the same problem. After awhile on/running lots of stuff, my internet dies, CTRL+ALT+DEL pulls up that error, and nothing really works. After checking settings my VM is fine and my memory sticks are fine. Heat may be an issue, but this sometimes occurs during low temps as well. Furthermore, my old laptop ran hotter and didn't have this problem (and with the immense load of multitasking).
Anyone have a potential solution? I am starting to get pretty frustrated,

Virtual memory could be a problem. It should be manually set (never ever let windows manage it...) at two to four times larger than your RAM. So, you should have it from 4-8 gigs (min max respectively).
If you let windows manage it, it will use ALL of the unused space on your hard drive as virtual memory, so it just throws it in any open space which fragments the hard drive and makes it harder to find files, thus slowing down load times and all that crap. If you set it, you keep it nice and tidy in a small little space, which is good.
(If you're still confused, try one of two things: 1) Hit yourself over your head with a hammer because you're a moron, or 2) Think of this analogy: You own a business that stores and ships goods. You have a large warehouse and most of it is reserved for long term storage. You have clients who like to store small packages for short periods of time (a day or two), and you simply put them anywhere you want in the warehouse along with the long term storage. Random places. When your client picks them up, he must wait for you to find it and bring it back, which takes up lots of time. The line backs up with those frequent customers and that really slows things down. That's what happens when you let windows manage it. If you set limits on it yourself, you set aside a corner of the warehouse specifically for those small packages, so you don't have to go looking all over the warehouse for those frequent customers. That saves lots of time.)
Yeah... that's just the virtual memory!
I'd say google the full code (there has to be more than just 0xc0000017.
