Host stop responding when i restart guest windows xp virtual machine

In VMWare WorkStation 8 i've created a windows xp pro machine. When i restart this guest machine my host slow down and stops responding and the only thing i can do is to power off the host because it become unusable,  while if i shut down and then start this guest machine, there are no problems on host machine. With the other virtual machines i haven't this issue, only with this one windows xp.

Any ideas to solve the issue?

I was forgetting to say that virtual winodws xp machine, when restarted, stops on bios and OS doesn't start. The only different setting with the other virtual machines is the "display" that i can't remove from the list... And if i click on ADD, this kind of hardware isn't on the list.
