What's the configuration of the Windows machine? have you installed the VMware tools for the VM?

Do you have the hosts's CD-ROM drive connected in the virtual machine's settings? If not, either check the VM's vmware.log file for hints, or attach it to a reply post.

1.the guest os is Windows 7 pro 64bit, yes i have installed vmware tools latest release.

2.no i not connected CD-ROM to vm.

i dont understand what connection is with CD-ROM and vmware.log???

Sorry i meant. The RAM, vCPU's and things. Maybe its happening because of resource contention.

The vmware.log contains information which can help understand/solve the issue you are seeing, so please attach this file to a reply post (you need to switch to "use advanced editor" to be able to attach files). In order to be able to download the file from the VM's folder on the datastore, you may need to shutdown the VM.

That's interesting, you seem to experience an issue which should be solved with version you have installed, i.e. ESXi 5.1 Update 1 (see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2036350). Unfortunately I can't really help you solve the issue, because I'm seeing the issue at some of my clients (with Windows 2003 Terminal Server) too and all I found so far, was to workaround the issue by disabling logging as explained in the mentioned KB.

or

"[ warning] [vmusr:vmusr] Channel restart failed [1]"

this problem born when the vm need to create a log but not succeed

VMware KB: Upgrading to VMware Tools 5.1 causes log spew with the message: Error in the RPC receive ...
