VM restarts whenever resumed

Ugh.. I'm having trouble with my Windows XP VM. It looks like every time I suspend it, it will immediately reboot itself upon resume.

This is from a Parallels Transporter Migrated installation and it appears to be time-related... Meaning, I can suspend it for short periods of time (< 1 min) without a problem, but when I let it go for anything longer than that, it will reboot the VM immediately when resumed.

Is there any solution or advice I can get for this?

Mac Pro
6GB RAM
Tons of Free HD
Parallels 3188
10.4.9 -- All up to date.
 
Hmm.. Okay I will do that.

I'm also an application developer, so I might be able to do some sort of debugging to narrow this issue down a bit. Does anyone know of any logs kept by Parallels that might tell me what's going on when the machine resets?

I have been unable to find anything in the console log viewer, but admittedly, I haven't looked too deeply into this.

Thanks!

Hmm... I know my XServe's console log shows it. Check out your ~/Library/Logs folder and your /Library/Logs folder by 'browsing'. There are a few Parallels specific logs.

What does your Activity Monitor have to say about your computers resource use both before, during, and after suspending?

Well I just found a Parallels folder in ~/Library/Logs but unfortunately it's only the transporter_cl.log . A quick search reveals no other log locations. :/

A quick monitoring of the process with `top` and Activity Monitor show minimal disk/CPU usage and the expected memory usage (I have 1GB allocated to the VM).

CPU usage jumps up a bit when I try to resume the machine, but I can't tell if that's from the "power cycle" or some fault that causes it.

Can you tell me the location and names of the log files you have on your machine?

Thanks,
Nick
