Hello there,

it is strange that a guest OS would crash on you without throwing any BSOD but rather "crashing from the GUI" by throwing a blinking cursor to the console. You could find more useful info inside the vmware.log that is present in your VM's directory. If possible, please post it here so we can have a proper look at it.

To get to understand your problem more - is the VMware Tools upgraded to the latest version? Do you have 3D Acceleration enabled in the guest OS? What about VRAM allocation/resolution specifications? Or maybe this can be caused by a process being idle. Either way, we'll know more once the logs have been reviewed Smiley Happy
