Troubleshooting possible hardware issue after PSOD

An ESXi host crashed with a PSOD indicating a possible hardware problem.

I used HW diagnostics provided by the HW vendor without identifying any problem.

How can I get more detailed information about the HW component causing the PSOD?

Regards

PSOD is not always due to Hardware issues.

if your hardware came out clean, raise a support request with VMware GSS.

some one from there will be able to help you identify what it was.

alternatively post screenshot of PSOD here, some basic information can be provided using that, but more will be there in log bundle of Host.
