Can't start vCenter

Hi, I just upgraded my VC 2.5 to vCenter over the weekend. And I'm starting to have problems today, when I try to remove a ESX host, it just freezes and eventually it freezes. so I rebooted the vCenter and I'm able to log in, but after another 20~30 mins, it just freezes again.

I called VMW tech support, they don't have an answer for me...

So now my only work aroudn is reboot every30 minutes....any ideas?

I have about 80 ESX hosts.....Thanks

One more thing, when I try to reinstall vCenter, it only let me either uninstall vCenter or modify linked monde configuration...

Did you check the memory usage on your VC server?

VC 4.0 consumes a lot more memory then 2.5.

Then there's the rollup of data on your database (this job runs every 30 minutes).

We experienced both issues (shortage of memory and rollup of data).
