pink/red screen of death when making big writes to disk

Every time I do big writes (600GB+) or perform a lot of disk I/O activity (non-iso related) to my raid 6. I get a pink screen of death. I tried it with two seperate sata controller cards. I want to submit this to the vmware techs so they can take a look at it. Someone told me I'll need some crash dump file off the esxi servers hd along with the screen shots. How do I get that info and where do I go to submit the issue to vmware tech support?

Welcome to the community,

I don't thik you will get the attention you expect by posting to an already answered thread.

You are welcome to open your own question and provide some more info (a BIOS version only, is not really helpful) , like system vendor/model, RAID controller and configuration, disk types ...

Thanks a.p.

I have two IBM x3850 M2. (RAM: 16GB, CPU: 2, HDD: 2x140GB (RAID 1)). After I install and config ESX4 similar on these 2 servers. But only one server is good (run 6 VMs are OK).

But other one run only 2 VMs about one day is dump (view pink screen of death).

I need a solution to repair this problem as soon as possible. Help me!
