VMware Pro 12 crashes Windows 10 Host with BSOD

[Simone2017]

10 days ago, I got a new system with Windows 10. I installed the latest VMware 12.5.4 and everything worked fine until Friday. I remember that when I shut down my system Friday, Windows updated something.

Yesterday, Monday, suddenly my system crashes 6 times with BSODs. It took a while to understand that the crashes are related to the VMware.

This morning, I removed VMware 12.5.4 and installed version 12.1.1, but I wasn't able to install Windows 7 (failed driver) and it crashed my system once more.

Is there somebody who experiences the same?

Hi, Andre:

Sorry for the late response, i have filled a bug to track the issue internally, hope that some WS developer will help to analyse the dump file.

Hi, heusd045:

Would you please check that if VT-x support has been enabled in your hardware BIOS? -- How to Enable Intel VT-x in Your Computer’s BIOS or UEFI Firmware

Workstation Dev read the info of "Intel VT-x is disabled and locked on CPU %d\n" from your dmp files.

Hi, afagund:

Workstation Dev tried to open your dmp files, but it appears to be corrupted. Would you please re-collect the memory dump file and send to us? thanks again for your support.

Memory dump collection steps:

1) Run "sysdm.cpl SystemPropertiesAdvanced", go to Advanced->Startup and Recovery->Settings and change "Write debugging information" to "kernel memory dump"

2)When the Windows host hit BSOD, windows system will collect the memory dump files and write it to %SystemRoot%\MEMORY.DMP

The MEMORY.DMP file is very useful for us to debug the workstation driver issue that caused the host BSOD.

Sound like same behavior I'm seeing, but in my case it's happening on VMware® Workstation 14 Pro, 14.1.1 build-7528167.

no, your crashes are related to AVAST .. I bet whatever you want on this.
