We have a 3845 router that has been running fine for quite some time.  All of a sudden the router is rebooting about every hour with the following message:

Not sure what to do here.

Hello.

Do you have any crash dump files on the flash?

I it possible to update IOS on the device?

Attached is the crash file.

There seems to be some memory block issues.  

 

This means that the OS isn't "returning" un-used memory back into the pool properly.  So the router keeps getting more memory until there's none left and crashed.  This can happen at anytime and is more true when the router has a very long up time.  

 

You may want to consider upgrading the IOS.
