Host of VM freezes & comments for 90 to 120 seconds

Hello

Use VMWare Fusion with happiness on my Mac for a few months now. Boot Camp VM, Win7 Pro x 64. In recent days, however, a very annoying problem arose: the virtual machine (I think) freezes my system for 1.5 to 2 minutes at a time, once an hour or so. After the first time it happened, I started to run Activity Monitor on the host computer and monitor resources on the guest. Here is what I noticed: the disk on the host computer activity falls to zero and the activity of the CPU on the guest ankles to 100% during these abandonments. Vice versa cannot be said; CPU is normal on Mac and Windows HD activity is low (but I don't think zero). All programs on Windows are completely insensitive and programs on Mac are very unresponsive but not totally. After dropping out, the activity and the use of the CPU are normal and I don't have to do anything to get back to work, it simply works again. Specifications are the following:

2012 13 "MacBook Pro (non-retine)

2.9 Ghz Intel Core i7

16GB DDR3 1600 Mhz

750Go Momentus XT 7200 RPM HD

OS X 10.8.2

Guest VM:

Windows 7 Pro x 64

8 GB RAM

Partition Boot Camp 112 GB

1 core dedicated to VM

Fusion 5.0.2

The Momentus XT is relatively new (2 weeks) but works OK. It is also a hybrid drive: http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/Seagate-Momentus-XT-hybrid-hard-drive-750-GB-SATA-600/2539150.aspx

Any idea?

I had no end of problems with this particular drive and had this particular problem.  It is certainly a problem with the drive - I would switch it on regular training (and I recommend Western Digital - black Scorpion is pretty fast) or an SSD.

  • Several times 'Photoshop CC' is freezes for 2 to 10 seconds only for simple commands.

    My problem is simple.

    I bought a laptop Lenovo G700;

    Windows 8.1

    Processor: Intel Core i7 - 3236QM 2.2 GHz (more powerful than an Intel I5 2500 K)

    I added memory, 8 GB of ram for a total of 12 GB.

After the small gel Photoshop running fine for 10 minutes after a little gel... good race, freeze... blablabla...

    The problem is common on my laptop and I can't explain why my workstation I don't have this problem.

  • Disabling network on the host while enabling in comments?

    First post. Coming for a long time. My sincere thanks for all the knowledge I have gained this community over the years!

    I use a virtual machine for all my internet needs and I would like to disable internet access into the host machine while leaving available for the virtual machine from the internet. Is this possible? I tried many settings that I can find via the GUI, and the only way I can access the internet via the virtual computer is if the LAN is enabled in the host.

    (BTW, I have that the host is exposed to the network because it is a small utility, that I have always told me that there is a new version available when starting unless the LAN is disabled in this case, there is no notification.) Windows Firewall is in full force, but I don't want ANY communication between the host and the external network).

    Thank you!

    XP SP3 host. XP SP3 comments. Legitimate V.6.5.1

    TXuser offers a good solution and add that if you don't have a router or do not change the settings for the router you can assign an address IP in the range 169.254.x.x to the NIC in the host and this will allow the guest OS to be configured using bridged network and receive an IP address from the DHCP server or router on local network and then the guest will be able to connect to the Internet host However, will not.

  • Firefox freeze for all 10-15 seconds on some websites.

    When I am browsing of sites on the internet, most operate normally. But there's a lot that when I go to these Web sites, freeze firefox completely for about 10-15 seconds before returning to normal.

    I've included the url for 2 sites that it does on. Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    If this does not work in mode without failure, then disable all extensions and then try to find out who is the cause by allowing both the problem reappears.

  • Audio Software OR Traktor - freezes for about half a second because of Dual Core

    Hello

    I've been test Native Instruments Traktor DJ Studio 3 and very often the audio timeline would freeze for about half a second and the game continues. I also have a good low latency soundcard PCI card, so that does not these breaks.

    I managed to get rid of this problem by disabling the second processor core in the BIOS setup. However, I don't like the fact that I'll have to do each time that I use Traktor.

    Is it a hardware problem or software? Software that does not use the two hearts should be able to run without problems, but apparently, there are a few interruptions happening that prevent some programs smoothly.

    That's why I'm posting here instead of the forums of NOR.

    Hello

    Why wouldn't be a hardware problem?
    The fact is that the processors with dual core Intel design and it will appear in Device Manager. Also I m sure that Intel will design with double CPU and core more in the future.

    However, I think and I'm sure it's only a software problem. Software developers have overlooked this fact that there could be another type of processors. In my opinion, you must contact the software manufacturing support to clear this problem. Maybe a few updates are available.

    That's all I can suggest.

    For the life of me I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong... The printer still works fine if I swap back to my old HDD so I know its something I do (or not do)... I tried to figure this out all day and have installed several drivers in normal mode and compatibility without result.

    When I open devices and printers on the old drive HARD the printer name reads "Dell Laser Printer 5100cn PCL6" but when I check the devices and printers on my new SSD it reads "Dell Printer 5100cn PS"... So, I know that I do not want to install the same as I have done before and I can't understand what I installed... I use a Toshiba Satillite P75 A7200 if that matters...

    Help, please

    Hi Roydub83,

    Thanks for writing on the Dell Community Forum.

    Please uninstall all the printer driver on the system installed for Dell Laser 5100cn printer and then install the driver on Windows 8 using this link http://dell.to/1ETptNA. Install in compatibility mode if the installation does not engage.

    Answer please if you have any other questions.

    Have a nice day ahead.

  • Windows freezes for 5 to 10 seconds every few minutes.

    After the upgrade to Win 8.1, I had some experiences with my computer freezing for 5 to 10 seconds every few minutes. Music continues to play, the cursor keeps blinking (although sometimes it freezes too) and the mouse can be moved, but try typing don't work and try to close, open, move or otherwise interact with the programs (applications office and modern) fails. Then, at the end of the gel in short, everything what has been done during freezing happens everything both. Restart breeze the trend until it starts again (sometimes hours later, other time days).

    It seems to be overheating problems and SFC came clean the problem only arose recently (well that before, it happened sometimes with IE only but who stopped). I'm not running 3rd party antivirus and Defender is coming clean, and so have free McAfee scan.

    My computer is a Dell XPS 1520 running Windows 8.1 update update 1.

    One last note, the problem seems to occur sometimes when I use Windows built-in backup of the file system. I can't actually think any time it all started when I was not hung on the backup media, even if it persists after the disconnection. I used three different types of backup media, so I don't know if one of the drives is the cause, but I will deal with that now.

    I think you're right. When you stop your video stream live, he stops for all participants. When you stop the video stream for someone else, you pause for only yourself.
