Cause This issue occurs when there are hardware or software issues on the host such as: Hardware faults occur when there are issues with CPU, memory, or main board components. Software issues are more complex and require more detailed examination to troubleshoot the reason for the fault. Resolution To investigate this issue: You must extract the log file that led to the Purple Diagnostic Screen (PSOD) crash and examine for potential cause.  For more information on extracting the log file, see Extracting the log file after an ESX or ESXi host fails with a purple screen error (1006796). Examine the extracted log file for any anomalous events immediately before the purple diagnostic screen such as logged hardware failures, memory or CPU errors, and also look for warnings or errors from other software modules. For more information, see Interpreting an ESX/ESXi host purple diagnostic screen (1004250) If you suspect a hardware fault, subject the host to rigorous memory and CPU testing. On hosts with multiple CPUs, arrange to run several tests at the same time. The usual troubleshooting techniques for hardware can be used, such as switching memory modules and CPUs between sockets. If you cannot perform the above steps because the host fails to power up or boot, submit a support request to your hardware vendor. If its not a hardware issue, then to resolve the issue, collect diagnostic information from the ESXi host and submit a support request. For more information, see Collecting Diagnostic Information for VMware Products (1008524) and How to Submit a Support Request.

You cant shrink directly even using vmkfstools command, so you have couple of ways to do it 1. Attach another smaller vmdk and move the file to this new disk, detach the old one and reconfigure drive letter in Windows 2. Use vmware converter and do V2V to resize any virtual disk 3. Or use 3rd party tool like QtPartEd to resize 4. Use disk imaging tool like ghost to clone the disk to another smaller disk
Are you able to open other PDF files properly ?
Yes, Downtime not required

According to APC, this is not possible and you require Powerchute Network shutdown. We tried this a number of times with USB and found no solution. VMWare has info here on using the APC approved solution. Would also think SmartUPS would be a better choice and you can fit with network card. Naturally more money but if your servers are at all important, that cost should be worth it. Also gives you more monitoring and alerting which might be useful at a remote site. You also need to assure sufficient runtime for all VMs to cleanly shutdown and then shutdown the host
Thank you, A Good to know document article.

Have you tried this ? You can import a Windows Virtual PC virtual machine and run it in Workstation. Workstation converts the virtual machine from Virtual PC (.vmc) format to VMware runtime (.vmx) format. This feature is supported only on Windows host systems. Prerequisites Download and install the Virtual PC virtual machine on the Windows host system. Procedure 1 In Workstation, select File > Open. If you have never imported a third-party virtual machine or virtualized a physical machine in Workstation, Workstation installs VMware vCenter Converter Standalone. After the installation is finished, you must restart the import. 2 Browse to the  .vmc file and click Open. 3 Type a name for the virtual machine, type or browse to the directory for the virtual machine files, and click Import. After Workstation successfully imports the Virtual PC virtual machine, the virtual machine appears in the virtual machine library.
Did you mean to say Everything work but DCUI is showing only "Log" ? When you are Press Alt+F1, are you able to see anything else.

As far as I know, Convertor copies all the drivers during conversion process and if the device is a virtual device and doesn't require any physical device, it should work. No need to add it again. But I haven't tested this scenario, will try to test in the lab and let you know.

By default, Converter creates a network for you called VMNetwork. If you want to create your own networks, on the Advanced metadata details page, create and edit the networks available for your virtual appliance for later mapping. What is the special driver you have installed in the physical machine, does it required any physical device present or it is like some loop back adapters ?
