Hi,
I recently installed windows 10 on a new Laptop. After installing VMWare Workstation 8 i tried to start a VM, but the Host crashes everytime with a bluescreen.
The Bluescreen dump tells that it crashed at ntoskrnl.exe+14e240 and tells that it had a problem with the MEMORY MANAGEMENT. This also happens with a new created VM.
Have you enabled Intel VT in laptop BIOS , also turn off antivirus completely.
if not fixing this issue , please do below things .
reboot the laptop and do a memory diagnostic , also do a windows update.
VT is on, antivirus is turned off completly.
Memory check is ok, Windows is up to date too.
Reboot it done automatically after every bluescreen :smileysilly:.
Still the same problem, as soon as I start a VM, the system stops with a bluescreen.
something weird man , now something cranking in mind . Please try this.
I just checked the compatibility matrix and VMware workstation 8 won't support on Windows 10 ,
I would say download evaluation version workstation 11.12 and 12.0 and see any progress.

Hi,
IIRC then the workaround is to change the virtual SATA CDrom to IDE and then remove the sata conttroller.
Of course that also means that your virtual disk should not be a sata disk.
Edit: Never mind.. my bad, didn't read well enough. That is the workaround for Windows 10 guests, not for Windows 10 hosts. On a Windows 10 host, you're likely to have more problems with using Workstation 8 anyways.
Hope this helps,

I would try to go into safe mode and uninstall WS 8. It is is not supported on a Windows 10 host or as a guest.
