Getting frequent BSOD's (blue screens) since upgrading to v6

[chris.garrett@calgaryscientific.com]

Hi all,
Like the title says I have been getting BSOD's a lot since upgrading. I tried turning off adaptive hypervisor but there was no effect. Plz help.

Parallels: 6.0.11992
Host: Mac OS X: 10.6.5
Guest: Windows Vista 64

ReportID: 7617618
Thanks,
Chris

Try to reduce the memorysize of the guest os.
I had the same problem and i found out that reducing the
memory of my vm from 2GB to 1GB could fix it.

Did this change work for your problem? I'm having BSOD issues too...

I bumped my memory from 4 to 1.5 gigs. It hasn't BSOD yet. I have had this VM up longer so will have to leave it up tonight to see if it stays up. I'll report back tomorrow.

please provide more details about the BSODs.

try if it replicates using a stresstest eg. http://mersenneforum.org/gimps/p95v2511.zip

Here is what I remember when getting BSODs:
1. The VM is not in focus. On second monitor but I'm working on the mac
2. I'm running tomcat and firefox in the VM. They are not being exercised.
3. The bluescreen message says MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
I'm not sure what else I can add.
