Just upgraded to 9.0.1. The first time I tried to start it, it caused Windows to reset, no bluescreen, just a reset back to the BIOS, etc. After that it worked until the next system reboot.

Downloaded todays WU, restarted Windows, then started 9.0.1. Same thing happened, Rebooted from the crash and it works again.

Note, that I am just starting Workstation, not a VM.
Windows 7 x 64 SP1
32GB RAM, i7-3930k, no OC
AMD 6970
Any ideas before I go back to 9? I had one BSOD like this with 9.0.0 previously.
Have you checked the hard disks for problems?? If they are Seagate there are nice bootable media to have such tools. Assume the same for WD but I never use their products (reason is OT).
Thanks for the response.
Boot drive is an SSD and VMware is installed on a RAID 10 volume. No errors show up for them.
Figured a clean reinstall instead of the in app upgrade might help.
Tried to copy a .vmx file into the library and got another instant restart
9.0.1 is totally unstable. I've had the app hang, VMs hang.
It repeatedly wipes out all the VMs listed in my library.
It seems a new BIOS update solved the rebooting issue, but VMs still disappear from my library.
Do the VM's disapper from the libray or never appear at all? In either case if you can locate the VM directory using Explorer and directly open the .vmx file (it will appear with the VMware overlappinig windows logo) see if you can double click - it should open in VMware . Don't power on the machioine yet. Then you should be able to add it to the favorites. in the library I'm not in a place at the moment to be absolutely certain of which tab to use - but I think it is the File tab. Then plower on the machinen if you wish. Next time you run VMware it will be in the libary.
I can add them any way, drag and drop .vmx to library, double-click .vmx, file-->open the .vmx.
On the next start most will disappear again. It doesn't matter if I created them with wks9 or earlier
I've also made them all favorites, doesn't matter, next restart most of the VMs are gone and none are marked as favorites.
The problem with the missing favorites seems like a VMware bug. At least there is another thread concerning the exact problem
don't really care about favorites, I just don't want to have to add 20-30 VMs every time I start up.
