Early on, I found that I couldn't have it connected to the PC's internal USB devices because it would increase the liklihood of the INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR. And I have another datapoint that leads me to believe it is a power issue: I have one of those USB fish tanks from ThinkGeek. The new chassis to which I upgraded had a 450w power supply instead of the 400w power supply. On the other hand, perhaps it is actually an issue with insufficient power. I believe what's happening with the error may be _related_ to VMware, but maybe as peripherally as a 'timing' issue. I also have to say to Vista developers - great job on handling a motherboard/chipset replacement. Henceforth, I haven't had a single INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR (2 months, 20-30 reboots). Then, for other reasons, I upgraded the chassis and motherboard, keeping all other things constant (including the system OS instance). I have VMware Workstation 6.0, and it's essential to my work. When I downgraded to a video card with lower power consumption, the problem lessened, but remained. I also found that removing USB devices would lessen the likelihood of the error. I very rarely rebooted my system, but when I did, it would blue-screen with the INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR about 1 in 5 times. That said, I had done similarly to what you had described. I had a very similar problem with a previous machine, and I'm pretty sure it's not _specific_ to VMware. To debug this, in the debugger type:Īll subsequent debugger commands will show you the actual The power policy manager experienced a fatal error.Īrg1: 0000000000000101, Unhandled exception occured while processing a system power event.Īrg3: fffffa6001dc8b10, ExceptionPointer. Probably caused by : VMkbd.sys ( VMkbd+15da ) *** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for VMkbd.sysīda8 not present in the dump file. Perhaps VMWare doesn't like my Wireless USB Keyboard? Mental note, relearn WinDbg'ing.

UPDATE: Installed Windows Debugging Tools (WinDbg.exe) and analyzed the crash dump and it's the VMWare Keyboard Driver, of all things. I hope this post helps someone having this same issue. I have the Crash Dumps if you work for VMWare and you're interested.

My guts says that this is a bug in the VMWare USB bridging code (the stuff in VMWare that lets you use USB devices inside a VM) or it's somewhere in the USB drivers in Windows. ALL of them, to be clear, save one wired USB Keyboard that I used to log in and remove VMWare. The only way I could get the system to boot up was to remove ALL the USB devices.

I am using a Quad-proc machine with an MSI motherboard with the latest BIOs and a buttload of USB devices. I looked all over and checked out the VMWare Forums and no one at VMWare has acknowleded the problem in a Googl-eable way. Needless to say this scared the crap out of me. However, when it's installed my 64-bit machine blue screens, and it's very difficult to get uninstalled, actually.

I had some trepidation at the time of the install because I am not a fan of the way that VMWare adds virtual network devices that are listed in Network Connections, but it came highly recommended from respected power users I know and I needed it to install a prepared Suse VM from the Mono folks. Working backwards, the last and only interesting thing I installed was VMWare Player for Windows. I built it to be stable and I trust the machine. I started cussing Vista out and panicking, but this machine has been exceedingly stable since I built it last year and I reboot only every few months. At this point I was in a blue screen 'loop' with the ominous message 'INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR' on the blue screen. I rebooted this evening, the first reboot since March, in fact, and blue-screened (BSOD) upon startup. I hope this helps someone because it totally freaked me out this evening.
