I am having an issue where my virtual machines in VMware Workstation continue to lock up.
I forget the error messages I've had before, but I've had several machines running and they all went to a BSOD and said no operating system was found.
My actual computer had no problems with blue-screening or anything.
The ONLY problem I've had is that it randomly shuts down every once in a while -- maybe once a week.
I bought this PSU back in 2010 and finally decided to build the computer in the end of 2015.
So I just believe the PSU has been sitting in the heat in my shed for so long (never used) that the caps are bad or something... It doesn't cause much of an issue -- only when the computer is on for very long periods of time. It does kind of suck because the PC will automatically power-off without warning...
Side question, could this be the CPU instead?
After this VM issue crashed a week ago, all VMs would stop and it would say there was an internal error with vCPU 2 or vCPU 4.
I have an Intel i7-4790k.
My actual computer OS did not have any problem when those VMs locked up and gave me vCPU errors.
Thinking about it now, it did have an issue where sometimes loading a folder would take a while but I didn't think anything of it.
I figured it was time to reinstall my entire OS for my computer.
I did that and everything is running smoothly...
I never had any BSOD on this computer, no memory problems, no CPU problems, etc.
Another thing I noticed is that when I right click on 'Recycle Bin' and select delete all, it sometimes takes a few seconds to pop up and 'confirm'.
I guess this DID happen when I've been having VM issues.
I reinstalled the operating system the other day and got everything back up and running.
I installed a VM and it became unresponsive right after it finished to install VM tools and logged in.
It crashed BSOD.
CRITICAL PROCESS STOPPED -- was the error code.
BSOD will reboot and then say no operating system found.
I will reset the VM and it starts back up.
I have my VMs set to 'CPU Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT' to enabled.
I actually just turned that off, removed sound card, USB hub, and CD-ROM from the VM.
It seems stable and is updating the OS.
My question was related to VMware, but I am now switching it back to CPU hardware related.
Do you believe there could be an actual CPU issue, even if I don't have any issue with unresponsiveness on my actual operating system?
Gosh I keep thinking about it and there was a time yesterday when I was loading a network drive... and it said failed... and then 1 minute later, it FINALLY pops up asking for my credentials just like the recycle bin problem.
When I open a program, this does NOT happen.
It automatically opens...
However, last night, I right clicked a file/folder and it was stuck... I kept clicking and explorer crashed and restarted.
OOPS, 5 minutes after updating, STOP CODE CRITICAL PROCESS DIED.
VM just BSOD again.
I had no problem submitting this post, go back to it, editing it, etc.
I have no problem resetting the VM...
What is going on?
What do you think I should do?
Is this a SSD issue where the VM is on?
I ran Windows Memory Diagnostics quick mode and it passed.
