ESXi and AMD FX 8320

Hello I created a machine to carry out tests with ESXI.

I used to save money a CPU AMA FX 8320 8 Core Vishera.

The problem is that when you are on more than one virtual machine, the PC resets itself after a while.

Has anyone encountered the same problem and any solution?

Waiting for a reply, I greet you cordially.

Welcome to the Community,

using unsupported hardware is always kind of gambling. Anyway, what you may do is to check whether the BIOS vendor offers a newer BIOS and run a hardware check to ensure everything works as expected. In case you just want to evaluate features, you may consider to install ESXi as a virtual machine in VMware Workstation (see e.g. Building the Ultimate vSphere Lab)
