SharePoint error of the day

Today one of our servers in the farm start failing on some sites with the error below. Appearantly we're the only one, Googling on PreInitServer and '[COMException (0x80004005): Cannot complete this action. ' yields nothing. We're hoping a reboot tonight will resolve something here as we recently installed report server in the farm.

Server Error in '/' Application.
