Please provide details on how you are creating the Windows 10 virtual machines. Since everything seemed stable with Windows 7, then Windows 10 may be the issue. Is your motherboard's BIOS updated to the latest version? Are you using any kind of overclocking?ДЇinally, do you have a decent power supply (or has it perhaps aged) that can handle all your hardware properly?

Since you have a vanilla Dell workstation I am assuming there is no exotic hardware in your PC like e.g the latest generation of Intel or AMD CPUs, weird network cards, scsi controllers etc, correct? Have you ever tested your RAM for defects with Memtest? How much RAM do you use and how much do you allocate to the guest(s)? Is the RAM you use on your motherboard's Qualified Vendor List? Since everything seemed to work OK for 3 years (and then for 2 months on WIn10), you may have a hardware degradation issue.ДЄre you sure that the hard disk(s) where the host and guests are installed has good health (no bad sectors) and that the filesystem is intact (chkdsk)? So, today it's a new day and new ideas emerge.ДЇirst is the hardware. The VMware virtual hardware is tested in a vast array scenarios by millions of users, so something else is going on. I have never seen a blue screen on my virtual machines and your findings are bugging me. I hate to see two days passed without a reply - yesterday I started posting some ideas but I cancelled them. Should I be looking somewhere else? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Most of the articles I've seen on this say this is because the guests are going into hibernation, but I've disabled hibernation in the control panel/power options. I have disabled hibernation and sleep options on the Host machine and the two VM Guests.

I have tried building a completely new Windows 10 VM from the upgraded host, without running any in place upgrade on the VM, and this new VM is still unstable.Дў. This has been going on for several weeks.ДЎ. Since upgrading the Host computer the VMs have been extremely unstable, and they generally crash once or twice a day with the HAL_INITIALIZATION_FAILED blue screen error. After upgrading the Host operating system I installed the latest version of VMWare Workstation and imported the existing virtual machines.

Once the VMs were upgraded this configuration was stable for about 2 months.ДЇor the second stage I upgraded the Host computer to Windows 10 Pro using the in place upgrade and Windows Media Creation tool.

This configuration has been stable for about 3 years without any real issues. Hosting 2 - Windows 7 Pro Virtual Machines Good morning, I've upgraded my Host operating system to Windows 10 Pro and now my guests are throwing the HAL_INITIALIZATION_FAILED error once or twice a day.
