I own a lets say a decent laptop with 6gb ram and i5 4CPUs ~2.5 Ghz and I create a virtual machine with half of my resources with default options, I don't change anything and after some time let's say 1h OR if I don't to nothing on virtual machine the cpu start to idle and if I came back to the virtual machine it works VERY slow, looks like the VM freeze or something. There is any options to improve performance on VMware? Why it freeze? Also sometimes the vmware crash. Any tips?
EDIT I installed a new version of vmware I will comeback to an answer after a few hours too see how it goes...
SOLVED Works great with the last version of VMware... the version which cause me probles was from 2013.
When you have i5 and 6GB of ram. VMware should run perfectly fine. Make sure that there are no other applications running in your base operating system. The probable reasons can be insufficient RAM or CPU over heat.You dont have to allot half of your resources until and unless you are going to use them in your virtual machine. If possible reinstall your VMware with optimum resources. Need not to be half of your system.
