I have a problem where my home esxi 5.0.0 623860 is random crashing. When it crash all my VM stop responding but I can still access esxi from vsphere, but I cannot shutdown VMs or shutdown esxi.
I have the following popup random in my log:

This is a RDM disk, that I have forwarded to a WHS2011 VM. This warning however is not in the log today when the system has crashed.
Now that the system is crashed, the following is last in vsphere log
Logging to storage has failed. Logs are no longer
being stored locally on this host.

This is the SSD that esxi is installed on, it's also hosting some VMs

Could it be a storage controller issue? The RDM HD (hosting WHS2011 vm) and the SSD HD (hosting esxi + some vm) is on the same mobo controller.
My system is rather complex with lots of pci forwarding to VM, I could explain it if someone has hints to a solution.
