In some scenarios the host may crash and display a BSOD after
- first reboot after the installation of Workstation or VMplayer
- start of a VM
For troubleshooting it is important to know the stop error so disable automatic reboot after a crash.
You can do this via the GUI or use this patch:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl]
"AutoReboot"=dword:00000000
Known Bluescreens
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
STOP : 000000D9
Module: vmx86.sys or vmware-vmx.exe or unrelated drivers such as WDF01000.SYS
Conditions:
this maybe a FIX:
open regedit as admin and navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
Do you have a REG_DWORD value = 1 for TrackLockedpages ?
If yes change it to 0 and reboot the host.
This will affect other applications that use that feature - so don't set this unless you have to.
