Over the past year, my VM box will crash at random times, sometimes months apart. I was on 5.5 and now am running 6.0. The NUC is a 5i7 with 32GB RAM and the datastore is on a Synology NAS.
When this crashes, for some reason I am unable to ping anything on my network. As soon as the NUC is restarted, everything is fine. It's strange, but I am more interested in tracking down why ESXi is crashing in the first place.
The PSOD tells me Machine Check Exception: Fatal MCE on PCPU3 in world 1388527:vmm0:Visual_
System has encountered a hardware error......
I have a VM named "Visual Studio 2012 - 32 bit" and I am only guessing that error is referring to that VM.
I've been playing with this for a while, but green when it comes to troubleshooting it. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
