ESXi 6.7.0 PCPU 7 Locked up failed to ack TLB invalidate

[Neijwiert]

Hello everybody,

For the last couple of months I've been struggling to get my ESXi 6.7.0 host to run stable, to no avail. First I identified that the SSD on which ESXi was installed was not properly working.

I proceeded to RMA the SSD and got a new one. I verified that my PSU is outputting correct voltages (also tried a different PSU). I freshly installed ESXi and only changed host name, static IP, vswitch Promiscuous mode enabled, entered ESXi lincense and configured NTP servers. All other things were left on default with no VMs installed.

My host's hardware:

MOBO: Asus Prime X370-Pro (also updated BIOS to latest version 4207)

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700

SSD: Adata XPG SX6000 Pro 256GB

PSU: Antec TruePower TP-650

GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6450

RAM: Corsair 32GB, DDR4, 3000MHz

The zdump and log files can be found in the below linked 7z file:

Everything that you have is unsupported, so in these situations don't be surprised that ESXi is unstable. It's not built for desktop, consumer platforms like what you have. This is the main reason why you want officially-compatible hardware.
