Ok, pretty lengthy and somewhat detailed. Knowing me that might be 5 years from now. But eventually I will toss the "faulty" vm.
VMWARE PLAYER FOR WINDOWS 10 FULL
After taking full partition backups of the entire server so not a small operation. In case vmware support sends me a request to " do this, then this to make sure you get everything possible logged" I might do it just to find a root cause for this. I probably should try to start it once to see if it still bsods but I kinda don't want to end up in a mess again. I have a copy of the original vm that was causing all this. Here are the 3 BSOD's that were occurring (IRP's was most common at the start), just copied some here: Guess I'm not installing those Windows updates again in a while although removing them didn't help. Transferred the vm back to my server, started it. Run sfc and disk checking and rebooted a few times with shutdowns, everything just run fine. Next day I copied the virtual machine to my main machine, where it started nicely.

Just mentioning it since I took a longer break going to sleep. Since I spent like 8h resolving this with long breaks I doubt just waiting would have helped. Since it was around midnight at this point I called it a day. Run sfc /scannnow and disk checking on the server. bang.Īt this point BSOD's are not even getting to the login screen in the vm anymore, from the logs I can see vmware restoring at 1%.5%.93% and bang. Start the virtual machine and BSOD.ĭownloaded the newest version of Vmware Player, rebooted, start vm.
VMWARE PLAYER FOR WINDOWS 10 UPDATE
Uninstalled the KB's Windows Update added. Ok, vmware (player) is causing a serious problem at least with this virtual machine. Run the virtual machine and within minutes, BSOD. Also, everything is just fine, until I start a virtual machine (no, I didn't start another just to check if the important one had become corrupt). I just haven't had crashes before even when copying terabytes between ssd's and normal HDD's. I doubt system stress was the reason although the first crashes were all MULTIPLE_IRP_COMPLETE_REQUESTS (and it's over 10 years since vmware had these problems before - quick check of the forum). and again.Īt this point I shut down vmware autorunning my sql server virtual machine not to destroy it. Since this is my server I often let it handle heavy tasks regardless of how inefficient it is to run much disc activity at once.Īt some point I realized the copying from my main machine had stopped and lo and behold, the server had booted.

Stable for 6h now so I'll post my findings for future reference.Īfter this I performed a disc cleanup while copying 200-300G at the same time (100M/s disk speed glowing red). I had a similar issue but didn't touch Avast while attempting fixes.
