the same problem，now I have to suspend/unsuspend to recover the vm.
 
Same question...but mine actually didn't crash despite black screen...it works while in black screen perfectly.

When black screen happened my main Windows 7 reminded me something like Nvidia driver kernal something has stopped working...

Probably because of graphics or cpu screw-ups - my pc is quite low end :p
 
VMWare is a great piece of software but it is simply not designed to run graphic using software or games.
If you have problems running multiple VW's with VMware the best is to go to the VMWare page and report this as bug.
VMWare Service is quite good and I am sure they will investigate and fix this.

For sure this means you are a legal owner of the software ^^
 
same problem here...runing 3 pcs with nvidia (gtx460,570,580) on each of them i get these blacksceens in the vms followed by a errormessage in the host saying "displaydriver has been restored".
i?ve tried more or less the same steps as the TO except that i also tried lots of different display drivers and the unofficial Microsoft hotfix KB2400157-v2-x64 which was recommended in another forum.
Nothing worked so far :(
if you wanna give the hotfix a try, it has to be installed on host and guest.

back to black

Anyone has better luck with AMD Radeons?
 
The problem is with nvidia gfx.
Solution: switch to ATI or just ignore the black screens and let it run like that, works fine without display and a relogger.
 
Maybe GPU temperature is too high because of overall load? ATI/Nvidia drivers tend to restart if GPU freeze (and it is common when temp is high). So its seems like it.
 
Its an nvidia thing... When I used to run VMWare I had the problem on all of my Nvidia machines. Do yourselves a favor and switch to Hyper-V and Windows Server. You will be able to run a lot more bots with that setup because it can share your graphics card. You cant do that with VMWare.

i thought that kinda stuff required specific cpu and motherboard and graphics card and you needed a dedicated graphics card per virtual machine?

Could you please get a little more specific on this ?
I wasn't able to properly configure Win server for botting, do you use remote access or teamviewer to access your vms ?
 
Has Hyper-V/Windows Server 2012 fixed the below problem with Graphics Drivers yet?

Graphics issues on the host

On CPUs without Second Level Address Translation, installation of most WDDM accelerated graphics drivers on the primary OS will cause a dramatic drop in graphic performance. This occurs because the graphics drivers access memory in a pattern that causes the Translation lookaside buffer to be flushed frequently.[36]

In Windows Server 2008, Microsoft officially supported Hyper-V only with the default VGA drivers,[37] which do not support Windows Aero, higher resolutions, rotation, or multi-monitor display. However, unofficial workarounds were available in certain cases. Older non-WDDM graphics drivers sometimes did not cause performance issues, though these drivers did not always install smoothly on Windows Server. Intel integrated graphics cards did not cause TLB flushing even with WDDM drivers.[38] Some NVidia graphics drivers did not experience problems so long as Windows Aero was turned off and no 3D applications were running.[36]

In Windows Server 2008 R2, Microsoft added support for Second Level Address Translation to Hyper-V. Since SLAT is not required to run Hyper-V with Windows Server,[39] the problem will continue to occur if a non-SLAT CPU is used with accelerated graphics drivers. However, SLAT is required to run Hyper-V on client versions of Windows 8.[40]

I've run into this problem as well.

just upgraded pc to one with 3770k cpu and nvidia 680 GTX. running on a pc with legit vmware 9 / windows 7 64 pro licenses.

only running 2 bots at this point. temps are NOT an issue as my gpu is almost always <30C when running (watercooling).

did not have this issue on my old hardware (i7 870 cpu / 2x 5870 GPUs).

Aside from getting black screens like you guys, i also get random "flickering" of textures when i am running more than 1 bot. does anyone else get this problem??

after hitting up google i suspected it might be due to the gpu power saving features moving the gpu core speed and voltage up and down. I've tried quite a lot of tweaks like "max performance" in nvidia control panel and using "force constant voltage" in afterburner but i haven't been able to resolve it. I found with the afterburner tweaks it would keep the gpu at max clock speed, but after i got a black screen error, the gpu clock was back down to about 50% (so nvidia power saving states were kicking back in). so it seems like maybe the gpu driver is crashing, but i am not getting entries in the event log of the host system.

one thing i did notice though was that if i ran the furmark benchmark while botting (puts gpu at 100% load), the texture tearing problems seemed to go away. i didnt want to leave that running long term though.. and would not suggest running furmark for long periods if you are using the stock cooler

all in all, pretty annoying problem and no solution yet. don't really want to go back to a 5870 after buying a 680gtx..
 
I have the same Problem with the following configurations:

AMD Phenom X4 965
Nvidia GTX 460
16 GB DDR3
SSD

- VMWare Player 5 / Workstation 8 / Workstation 9 (Tried every Version)
- Windows 7 Professional 64 bit / Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit as Virtual Machines. Both with legit keys.

I have tried with Windows Updates and without Windows Updates etc.
Botting would work so great, if there wouldn't be this damn problem.

Anyone tried to install Windows 8 as Virtual Machine and as Main System?
Is there someone who has Win 7 / VM-Win 7 / Nvidia GFX without Blackscreens?
