Temporarily supending Carbonite's backups seems to greatly reduce (if not eliminate) the problem. Even though I excluded VMDK files on my backup program (Carbonite), it appears that it is still causing VSS to generate shadow copies when it is active, which cause the freezes. I'm hoping that at least some of you are having the same issue as mine.

If you go to a command prompt (using Run as Administrator on cmd.exe), and type "vssadmin list shadows", and look under "creation time" for the shadow copies listed, do you see a shadow copy generated about the time the computer froze?.

Do you have any backup programs running that could be taking a Shadow Copy during the times you're noticing the freezing?.

Do you have a HDD activity light, and if so, does it indicate high activity during the time of the stall/freeze?.

If YES to 1, is the stall time about the same each time? Mine is around 3 minutes, and of course yours may be longer or shorter depending on your setup.

Does your computer recover from the stall/freeze if you wait long enough (several minutes)?.

Of course, because the VMDK files tend to be quite large (10, 20, 30GB or more), it seems to hang up as it takes the Shadow Copy of that file. I am pretty sure I have the problem narrowed down to it being caused by Windows taking a Volume Shadow Copy of the volume where the VMDK (VM virtual disk) files are stored. I am running Win7 Ultimate w/8GB RAM and SATA RAID5 w/3 WD Caviar Black drives (7200RPM). It started when I started using my first VMware Player VM a couple weeks ago, and seems to only happen when the VM is active.

I was experiencing a similar problem, where my whole computer would freeze for several minutes at a time, appearing to be due to excessive hard-drive activity that just brought the PC to a screeching halt until the activity was complete. I forgot to mention, I also have hardware virtualization enabled in my BIOS. I can't really offer any evidence, but due to the timing of my lockups, I've wondered if MS Outlook through Exchange could be an issue. I get complete system lockups every once in a while. Nothing in my VMWare log files that point to the issue, and nothing in either the guest or host Windows Event Viewer. I am also running dual displays, but only one monitor off my dock. I'm giving it four of my eight cores, though I'm not sure if that's the problem since my CPU has eight logical cores but only four physical cores (I get up to eight in the dropdown selection in VMWare). I have 4gb dedicated to the VM, though it did it when I had 2gb dedicated to it as well. Running Windows 7 圆4 Enterprise Guest on a Windows 7 圆4 Host. If they differ vbox is making bios calls that effect some bios settings, if not the bios has a bug.So, any updates on this? I have this issue as well. The 4 dumps should not differ, I suspect they will differ.

Install 2.08 on a fresh Host with vt-x enabled(dump bios), run some Guests in vt-x mode(dump bios), upgrade to 2.2.4 or 3.x, warm reboot(dump bios), try running same vt-x guests and shutdown from the Guest(dump bios). I don't have these facilities but a test could done as follows: A Host reboot does NOT restore these changed bios values, you need to cold boot for that to happen. Somehow I feel this a BIOS setting/vbox issue, between mayor vbox releases vt-x settings are tested differently to which a BIOS might react differently (a BIOS can and will store minor changes when quering values the wrong way) this can be a fault in the BIOS. It would explain why a fresh install on a 64bit laptop and a cold reboot worked without vt-x problems. I have actually done this on a test server, haven't tried shutting down a guest yet since I want to run this for a while(simulate conditions) to see if this helps.
