I've been given access, so I have gone ahead and tallied up every crash header. Here is the list of them since this post. These go back as far as January 2021; they would've gone back farther but Sout had the logger misconfigured.
Code:
server.dll + 0x3ee22 64 times
server.dll + 0x3ee59 22
KERNELBASE.dll!RaiseException + 0x62 23
server.dll + 0x349197 9
server.dll + 0x3693a6 9
server.dll + 0x36f8b3 8
server.dll + 0x348197 5
server.dll + 0x3ee22 3
server.dll + 0x36a3a6 3
server.dll + 0x3708b3 3
engine.dll + 0x17f777 3
server.dll + 0x205435 2
engine.dll + 0x126669 1
server.dll + 0x490ea3 1
server.dll + 0x1cd5f8 1
vscript.dll + 0x35eaa 1
server.dll + 0x423b19 1
engine.dll + 0x11cda8 1
server.dll + 0x6d715c 1
tier0.dll + 0x1a622 1
server.dll + 0x7e7928 1
server.dll + 0x48fc53 1
server.dll + 0x6d2be 1
engine.dll + 0x1df234 1
engine.dll + 0x176595 1
engine.dll + 0x11c3b1 1
server.dll + 0xef4fa 1
server.dll + 0x5998d 1
server.dll + 0x48ef53 1
[An error occurred while processing this crash.] 1
"server.dll + 0x3ee22" is the most common one by far. It is also the header of a crash the server had 2 hours prior to this post. I suspect that if we find and solve the root cause of this crash, it will solve the majority of the issues the server is having.

(By the way, two or three of these crashes were due to Sout forgetting to install the Real Zoey Unlock plugin; it's since been installed. If you find any crash logs are related to that you can probably disregard them.)

I can give u a updated plugins list I have and if u give me your steam profile link I could add u to the sharing list on https://crash.limetech.org/ so u could see all the crashes.

Plugins list: https://pastebin.com/AkLSz6Hw

Maybe you could suggest a plugin to disable?
Since you have OS Windows, without much deeper analysis, the plugin list can't say me anything.

It is up to you to do the mentioned experiment.

It is a tactic of halving. Remove half of the plugins (or less), check, remove next half e.t.c.
If that's helped to fix some of crashes, recover some part to see which one is a cause.

Not much related to the talk but...

Other things that help me to detect problems/crashes is checking the memory used by the server. (my host limit is up to 1GB, but usually, the game only uses around 500~600MB).
Some weeks ago I have found that the server was using 1GB somehow and was causing a lot of lag in the server (almost crashing), so I had to restart it (didn't find the cause yet).

I'm also used to use "sm_dump_handles <filename.txt>" when I restart my server, and after several hours/days/weeks (without crashes) I use it again and then compare on this website: https://hexer10.github.io/Sourcemod-HandleDumpParser/ to detect some memory leaks.
I have found some plugins (even mine) having memory leaks because of bad datapack/arraylists/stringmaps handles. (since SM doesn't have a GC)

Hi, I have also a Windows Server and I haven't had in 2 months this errors
I think it's something vscript/plugin based
because Tonblader is reporting me the same, this are his accel logs:
Crash ID Uploaded Function
SW5L-CZPU-IJ2W 13 hours ago vphysics.dll + 0x10465b
KJEI-TKJ3-H4VD 16 hours ago datacache.dll + 0x1fd0
TAIO-DH2Q-EFZA 2 days ago server.dll + 0x490ea3
RFYJ-3WCV-YNEP 4 days ago server.dll + 0x490ea3
RSHX-4ZLA-STII 1 weeks ago vphysics.dll + 0x10465b
I've recommended to try just plugin by plugin, because it has its root on
the engine dlls,
but it seems that it could be vscript related also:
this 2 functions are vscript related:
vscript.dll + 0x3e14a
tier0.dll + 0x229a4

BW,

Update:
Everything is fine,
I isolated the error,
My method was executing the server with zero plugins,
later I was adding the plugins in groups, grouped by categories (damage, gameplay, etc)
I was stress-testing, I recommend glubstastic for that matter,

I hope everyone finds this useful,
BW,
J
