Maybe this can help you a little (though PSODs are not easy to decipher):
VMware KB: Interpreting an ESX/ESXi host purple diagnostic screen
VMware KB: Understanding a Failed to ack TLB invalidate purple diagnostic screen
BTW, the first few lines are the most important, so nex time please try to upload complete screenshot.

As far as I can see through the bar I think the message is :
PCPU1 locked up. Failed to ack TLB invalidate. (Total of 2 locked up, PCPU(s). 1,2)

It appears like you have a faulty hardware. NMI are are interrupts triggered in an attempt to regain control of your CPU that have been non-responsive, sometimes they dont respond to NMIs as well, these typically manifest as PCPU locked up. We also see PCPU locked up as 1 & 2(most likely one dual core CPU out of order), this is stronger indication that one of your CPU/socket that may be faulty.
Run thorough hardware diagnostics. Dont add this server in production and ensure the server is part of the VMware Hardware compatibility list

I agree with virtual_knight, one out of some new machines we had delivered got this error had indeed some hardware failures. Luckily we could return the unit as DOA and was confirmed afterwards that the machine had hardware related problems.

Yes... I have.
Called HP... The support guy said "LINT 1 motherboard interrupt, eh?. New motherboard it is then" A guy showed up 2 hours later and replaced the board.... no problem since.
This was on a DL380p Gen8 too..
