I always get DPC-WATCHDOG_VIOLATION error at the end of a snapshot of Windows 8 (8.1). The system does restart normally and the snapshot seems valid (at least the progress bar on the Actions windows completes. I may try snapshotting an earlier version of Windows (say Windows 7 or XP) but I'd like to know if anybody else is getting this.
Hi. I attached the newly created -compressed vmware.log (compressed) to the starting thread because I could not seem to edit your request for some reason. This time there was no dump file produced (that I could find). However I did notice an extremely brief blue screen at the end of the snapshot process - where the screen is painted. The Windows 8.1 VM then rebooted with no errors.
