ESXi 6.0 Keep Purple Screen of Death everyday

Please anyone can help me understanding what these Error massages actual means?

The Server Spec:

3GHz Intel Xeon-IvyBridge (E5-2690-V2-DecaCore) x2

8x16GB Kingston 16GB DDR3 2Rx4

NVIDIA GRID K2

Mother Board: SuperMicro X9DRI-LN4F+_R1.2A

RAID: Adaptec 5805 Z RAID 5

Network Card: SuperMicro AOC-STGN-i2S_R2


I used to think it was the RAID card, but seems it doesn't help even I update the latest RAID Card firmware.

Please help>.<

Many thanks and may all best wishes follow.

Upinel - we are also experiencing similar PSOD's, although not as frequent.  We have a case open with NVIDIA and a case open with VMware.  We are using CISCO UCS C240 M4 with NVIDIA K1 cards.  Have you been able to resolve yet?  Can you reproduce consistently?

Hi VDIuser2,

I finally unplug the RAID card, and deploy a iSCSI LUN, and the problem fixed.....

it seems it is the RAID card have bugs with ESXi 6.0 so not using the RAID card will let it work.

unfortunately, it is still unacceptable issue as my RAID card is a popular brand.

Hope it helps.
