    We have a legacy version SQL Server MSSQL 2008

    SQL Server 2008 is out-of-support since a very long time.

    Have you installed latest SP 4 + latest CU?

    What does SELECT @@version return? If you are not on Service Pack 3 for SQL 2008 R2, make sure you install it. You could be facing a bug that has been fixed.

    If you are on SP3, the best option to resolve this issue is to upgrade to a more modern version. But, unless you can run with Express Edition, that comes with a price tag.

    You should also make investigation if you are using any of the following:

    1. Extended stored procedure.
    2. Unsafe CLR assemblies.
    3. Linked servers using third-party OLE DB or ODBC drivers.
    4. sp_OAxxxxx.

    That is, it may be an external component that runs in-process that corrupts SQL Server memory.
