Thank you for shared the link, I checked this link before, but I did not find any logs in /var/log/vmkernel.log related to this issue, where i can find in other path?

Hi,

Check if there are old vmkernel or vmkwarning log files in the same path. If the log files have been deleted from this path due to ESXi reboot, you only option is to check on the syslog server, if configured as one for the affected ESXi host. Else, there is no other path for log files in ESXi.

We can try to form a theory as to what could have caused the PSOD (You have mentioned BSOD but that's for Windows server. ESXi gives PSOD.)

But the detailed root cause can only be given by the VMware Support which is not possible for your issue since ESXi 5.5 is EOL since 2018/09/19.
