PSOD after esxi hardware upgrade

[joko1982]

I have this problem from esxi version 6.0 to 6.5 on new esxi

vm's did run good on my old esxi with i5 processor. i make an ovf and imported on new machine

now upgraded the hardware to amd fx processor

sometimes 10 minutes and sometimes 6 hours before PSOD

i tried :

- change processor settings from 4 to 1

- change vmxnet3 to e1000 and e1000e

I'm thinking about getting the ASRock 970 Pro3 R2.0. The board I currently have (Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3) doesn't support PCI passthrough, and I also can't see any hardware information from within VMware 6.5 on either the System sensors or Storage pages.

Can you confirm if you're able to see hardware info in VMware?

Also are you able to do PCI passthrough?

Also I have an amd fx 8350, but I see a warning on pcpartpicker that I might have to use a different cpu in order to flash a bios to a 970 board so that it will support my CPU, can you comment on whether your board supported your CPU out of the box or if you had to use another CPU to flash a different BIOS version?

Hi Joko,

Try running ESXi image again on new machine and use ugprade option rather than fresh installation. This will surely upgrade the CPU drivers according to hardware change.

Let us know the result once you done.

Thanks
