Again Guest Vm Turn off and in logs Warning was

Message from : The VMware Tools package is
not running in this virtual machine. The package might be
necessary for the guest operating system to run at resolutions
higher than 640x480 with 16 colors. The package provides
significant performance benefits as well. To install it, choose VM >
Install VMware Tools… after the guest operating system starts.
VMware ESX can remind you to install the VMware Tools package
when you power on the VM. Select OK to enable the reminder.

Make sure your VM server should be up-to-date with patches...

[continuum]

this behaviour would be normal for a VM that  has not been activated yet

I'd bet a semi-lot of $$$ that's it. Been there - been done by that.
