SCVMM service crash when trying to connect with admin console

Question

Hello,
i'm using SCVMM for a while but from the beginning of the year (2010), the vmm service crash when i try to connect with the vmm admin consol .
More in detail:
vmm service is running on serverA. (vmmservice 2.0.3444.0)
Admin console is running on serverA (vmmadmin 2.0.3444.0)
ServerA is running W2008 Sp2
on this serverA, i launch vmm admin console to connect to server localhost:8100.
i get the following erro message
You cannot access Virtual Machine manager server localhost
Contact the virtual machine manager administrator to verify that your account is a mamber of a valid user role and then try the operation again
ID: 1604
And i can see in system log at the same time an error (see detail at the end)
i get the ods log from vmm according to the link i see in an other post http://blogs.technet.com/chengw/archive/2008/05/08/how-to-collect-scvmm-traces.aspx
thanks in advance

 Hi Mike,
I have same kind of
 VMM Crashing  issue but error looks different.
I have one SCVMM Server ( Win2008 R2 SP1) and to manage 20 host servers with 300 clients and it was running fine since 30 months. Recently I observed
that Virtual Machine manager service is not getting started  automatically , due to that SCVMM console is not establishing the connection. If we forced to start the VMM service, then we are able connect the SCVMM console. But every 5 or 10 min console
was disconnecting and restarting the console. We are getting below 2 error codes. Please help me on this.
I have hosted IN-SCVMM1 server on
 hyper-v virtual machine with 16GBRAM and 2 Processors.
