Constant 0xc000012d Errors and program crashes

Our primary server had a low disk space problem which was preventing many of our remote users who connect to the server from being able to use many features of programs, as well as causing the server to work slowly.

I saw that the cause of this was a poorly partitioned primary disk, which only allocated 63GB to the C drive, which had approximately 1 MB of free space, meanwhile the adjacent F drive had 600 GB allocated with 200GB free. To resolve this what we did was back up the F drive, followed by converting the disk to dynamic, deleting the F partition, extending the C partition by 100GB, recreating a F partition with 500GB allocated, and finally transferring the backed up files to the F drive.

After doing this we have regularly been having programs crash and close. Most of the programs do not even provide an error message, but the few that do provide a generic unhandled exception error, or 0xc000012d error. Almost every program had regular crashes, from Adobe Reader to Internet Explorer.

What might be causing the crashes, and how can we attempt to fix this problem?

The server in question runs Windows Server 2008 R2, has a 1 TB primary disk, and 16 GB RAM.

After running CHKDSK on both drives here are the two logs that have been returned for the two respective drives.

The problems ceased occurring after I configured the system to create a system managed pagefile on the C drive. It appears that the setting prior to the deletion of the F drive, had set only the F drive to have a pagefile. When the F drive was deleted, this configuration must have also been removed, which left only the physical memory to deal with the load remaining.
