I am working on Windows 10 Pro, VMware Workstation Pro 15 and ESXi 6.7 update 2 on Dell 7520 laptop. I understand this might not be officially support from hardware perspective. But let me explain:
1. First of all I was able to create a nested ESXi from Workstation. Then create VM (Linux) from this nested ESXi.
2. Few days later after I shut down the laptop few times none of the VM in ESXi can be powered on. After 10 min or so it gives PSOD with 'The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. Power off or reset the virtual machine.' popup box.
3. If I power off the EXSi or even remove it and recreate it, it won't work either
4. If I uninstall and reinstall Workstation, it won't work
5. Only I re-image my Windows OS it will start working again but fails few days later. This pattern has been for a month and I have re-do my OS three times already
Any suggestions and ideas where I can start investigating?
Thanks,
