    Hello I created a machine to carry out tests with ESXI.

    I used to save money a CPU AMA FX 8320 8 Core Vishera.

    The problem is that when you are on more than one virtual machine, the PC resets itself after a while.

    Has anyone encountered the same problem and any solution?

    Waiting for a reply, I greet you cordially.

    Welcome to the Community,

    using unsupported hardware is always kind of gambling. Anyway, what you may do is to check whether the BIOS vendor offers a newer BIOS and run a hardware check to ensure everything works as expected. In case you just want to evaluate features, you may consider to install ESXi as a virtual machine in VMware Workstation (see e.g. Building the Ultimate vSphere Lab)
