VMware Workstation 9 collides with Intel Parallel Studio XE 2013. After I installed the Intel Parallel Studio XE 2013, the operating systems I have created in the VMware Workstation 9 (with Easy Install), such as Windows XP, Windows 8 Pro and Centos 6.3 crash down easily, reporting ” A fault has occurred causing a virtual CPU to enter the shutdown state. If this fault had occurred outside of a virtual machine, it would have caused the physical machine to restart. The shutdown state can be reached by incorrectly configuring the virtual machine, a bug in the guest operating system, or a problem in VMware Workstation. Click OK to restart the virtual machine or Cancel to power off the virtual machine.” or "The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system", even if I reinstalled VMware Workstation 9 again and again. My operating system is Windows 7 Professional, running on a Thinkpad W520.

I have the same issue.
Bellow is my post at vmware communities.
After a lot of testing (restore from backups, clean install, e.t.c) i found that the cause of all crashes and problems is a conflict between Intel Parallel Studio XE 2013 and Vmware Workstation 9, it may affect also other versions. As soon i realized the problem i searched for other reports of the problem and found http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/topic/328380. ; If Vmware Workstation 9 is installed alongside with Intel's Parallel Studio XE 2013 all the problems that are analyzed bellow will happen. I speculate that there is conflict between some hw-monitor driver and Vmware Workstation that leads to crashes.
Unfortunately just uninstalling Intel Parallel Studio XE 2013 will not fix the problem.
The most common error codes are:
vcpu-0| W110: MONITOR PANIC: vcpu-0:VMM fault 6: src=MONITOR rip=0xfffffffffc2c14a0 regs=0xfffffffffc008a60
vcpu-0| W110: MONITOR PANIC: vcpu-0:VMM fault 14: src=MONITOR rip=0xfffffffffc2c147e regs=0xfffffffffc008a40
vcpu-0| W110: MONITOR PANIC: vcpu-0:ASSERT vmcore/vmm/main/crosscall.c:690s
Also process inside linux VM's crash with SIGSEGV.
Original Post:
Guest crashes with error vcpu-0:VMM fault 14: src=MONITOR or vcpu-0:VMM fault 6: src=MONITOR
I am using Vmware Workstation 9 on a Dell XPS L502x laptop with Windows 7 Professional x64. The laptop specs are:
Intel Core i7-2670QM
16Gb RAM
Intel HD 3000
Nvidia GT 540m
Crucial M4 512GB SSD
Seagate Momentus 750GB
When try to boot a virtual machine configured with more than two 2 CPUS's, most of the times it crashes immediately with the one of the following error messages.
vcpu-0| W110: MONITOR PANIC: vcpu-0:VMM fault 6: src=MONITOR rip=0xfffffffffc2c14a0 regs=0xfffffffffc008a60
vcpu-0| W110: MONITOR PANIC: vcpu-0:VMM fault 14: src=MONITOR rip=0xfffffffffc2c147e regs=0xfffffffffc008a40
vcpu-0| W110: MONITOR PANIC: vcpu-0:ASSERT vmcore/vmm/main/crosscall.c:690s
In another virtual machine that is configured with 2-CPUS and running Centos 6.3 64-bit. Processes randomly receiver SIGSEGV and crash for ex.
bzi2 crash
bzip2: Caught a SIGSEGV or SIGBUS whilst compressing.
Possible causes are (most likely first):
(1) This computer has unreliable memory or cache hardware
(a surprisingly common problem; try a different machine.)
(2) A bug in the compiler used to create this executable
(unlikely, if you didn't compile bzip2 yourself.)
(3) A real bug in bzip2 -- I hope this should never be the case.
The user's manual, Section 4.3, has more info on (1) and (2).
If you suspect this is a bug in bzip2, or are unsure about (1)
or (2), feel free to report it to me at: jseward@bzip.org.
Section 4.3 of the user's manual describes the info a useful
bug report should have. If the manual is available on your
system, please try and read it before mailing me. If you don't
have the manual or can't be bothered to read it, mail me anyway.
In /var/log/messages, I see the following:
tpvmlpd2[3873]: readlink("/dev/vmwcomgw") failed with 2
I suspected that there is is a problem with the laptop's memory so i run memtest86 and laptops memory test and found no errors.
I tested also Vmware player and it has the same behaviour.
Any help appreciated!

>>>I also wanted to understand what the SIGBUS error is but it is not clear where the error is declared.>>>
Is not this so called bus error?

@Savour.G
I did a quick research on the net and find that fault 6 is related to invalid opcode.This line containes address of invalid instruction rip=0xfffffffffc2c14a0
And the fault no. 14 this is page fault which probably occurs here at this addressn rip=0xfffffffffc2c147e by comparing these two locations you can see that this is the same piece of code related to VMM process.

I noticed that too, but why is that happening?
I will try identify which of the Parallel's Studios compenent conflicts and causes the crashes.

Can you see how VMM monitor is implemented?I mean does it some kin of dll or kernel mode driver?

I did not understand is your Parallel Studio suite onstalled inside a guest OS or inside a Host OS?

>>>This is absolutely wise decision because the Intel Parallel Studio XE 2013 includes at least 8 different components. I would really suspect Vtune Amplifier XE or Inspector XE.>>>
Could that be the issue mainly becuse of low-level operations which require usage of priviledged instructions.

Savour.G issue is related to VMware Workstation 9.Maybe this issue will not be reproduced when VM Player is installed.

Clarifications are needed if you want to get to the bottom of this issue:
1. Which CPU and chipset do you have?
2. Is hardware virtualization enabled?
3. Which GUEST and which HOST OS do you use?
4. Is Parallel Studio being installed in the GUEST OS or in the HOST OS?
5. Arer you installing VTune?
