Default VMware Communities Spontaneous reboots on Win7 x6

4 posts since ,buy office standard 2010
Feb sixteen,Office Standard 2010, 2011
This is infuriating.  I setup a great VMware Workstation Host.  HP Elite 8100 CMT desktop,Red Rocket Blogger Windows7 “Beta” “RC” まとめ,Office Home And Business 2010 Product Key, 16GB (4x4) of Kingston PC3-10600 DDR3 1333MHz memory and a 128GB SDD system drive and separate 128GB SDD for VM storage.
 
Installed Windows 7 Enterprise x64 from scratch.  Very basic/clean install.  A few basic programs & tools inclding VMware Workstation 7.1.2.
 
For weeks or more I have been seeing the machine just up and restart for no apperent reason.  Little,Office Professional 2007 Product Key, or rather no indication in Event Logs.
 
Not often.  Once maybe twice a day on a busy day.  Once maybe twice a week on a slow week.
 
So I changed the box, swapped my SSD's and memory into a new HP Elite 8100.  Same problem.
 
Rebuilt Windows install from scratch again: Same problem.
 
No firmware updates available for SSD's as they were taken from Dell laptops,Cheap Windows 7 Key, so bought two shiny new high speed SSD's, 120GB each.  Rebuilt system again.  Installing Win7 x64 Enterprise and VMware workstation 7.1.3: Same problem
 
Replace all 16GB of Kingston RAM with 16GB or Corsair memory (4x4GB) this morning.  By noon it had rebooted itself again.
 
I have replaced all the hardware and reinstalled the OS multiple times with the cleanest install I can.
 
I have one other machine with basically the same hardware configuration but doesn't run VMware yet.  It has never had this issue.
Swapped the Kingston RAM into another HP 8100 not running VMware this morning.  No reboots yet.
 
Anyone else having VM host spontaneously rebooting?????
 
Help???  Anyone???
