I have a server running about 500 powershell processes. Each of these processes is designed to invoke WMI in our environment. I tried to verify that I did not use all available server memory or processor. When all 500 processes work for me, I use about 70% of the memory usage.
Just in case, someone wonders how individual processes are processed, they are performed using a worker. Basically a python shell script that calls powershell script ... times 500.
The problem I am facing is that some of my powershell processes crash after several hours.
Some of the errors I get are as follows:
A new guard page for the stack cannot be created
When I open the event viewer, I see these events when process crashes

I suppose this has something to do with powershell ending with out of memory, but the server has not reached the top and not all processes are crashing, this is sporadic.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The following are the results of the crash, the names of the powershell crash modules differ from time to time:
