Workstation 10 appears slow and unstable under Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate; guests crashing, workstation locking up

[70tas]

I am seeing the following issues since upgrading to Workstation 10 a few days ago:

1. VM stability
   Windows hosts appear to be running out of memory resources;  several recurring crashes have occurred on Workstation for the particular VM
   Unfortunately I have not kept track of errors, I will in future
2. Increased memory requirements
   The VMs I could run in 16GB of RAM, all in memory, minus about 3GBs for the host can no longer run because of insufficient memory
   Workstation had me decrease the memory reserve for VMs, which in turn meant I had to decrease the memory allocated to each VM to compensate
3. Performance appears slow, almost about 50% of what I was getting prior to the upgrade

I am running on a Gigabyte mobo, 6-core AMD with 16GB of RAM.

I will post more information as I collect it.

Has anyone else seen these kind of issues with Workstation 10?

I've just posted a similar question and then found yours: Guest Ubuntu 14.04 makes host Windows 7 unresponsive with Workstation 10

My Windows host runs out of some resource, but I cannot tell which one because it becomes so unresponsive that even task manager cannot be launched.

Please post a vmware.log file as an attachment.

I would like to continue this thread. Where may I find the vmware.log file within the vm workstation installation?

On Windows, it will typically be under Documents\Virtual Machines\<machine name>, unless you chose to put the virtual machine somewhere else.
