Servers crashing. Eventlog filled with Windows Product Activation Error Code: 8: 0x800705af

I have had 2 separate live servers (Windows Server 2003 Web Edition
SP1) die within a week with the same log messages (below). The
machines are completely disabled and often cant even open the control
panel. By 'die' I mean web request got a "Server Unavailable" message
at best, but i am guessing that many wouldnt even get that. The UI was
completely unresponsive in many cases.
For various reasons, these machines had not had any updates applied for
about 8 months. They were not exposed to the internet, so they would
not be able to access updates. Hard resets would not work. They
would stop serving content right away. They are only running IIS6
(.NET 1.1 but no 'active' content) on a vanilla install from DELL.
The only way I could get them back online was to put them on the live
internet--where these particular machines should not be--and get the
updates. Applying the updates and resetting magically alleviated the
problem. This concerns me an awful lot, because it appears that windows
killed itself while trying to get updates? Anybody have any clues on
this?? All input appreciated!!
