Host machine is SuperMicro X8SAX, (Tylersburg-DT) BOARD / Socket 1366, Intel X58 Express Chipset, blah blah blah. Motherboard has ICH10R RAID controller and Intel Matrix Storage Manager is installed. 8GB RAM installed.
Host OS is Windows 7 Professional x64.
The machine boots up fine. About half the time I start Workstation 7, the machine (i.e. the host OS) Blue Screens. Whenever this happens, the process name (from the dump) is always vmware-vmx.exe. Here's the dump:
