My Mac pro is crashing recently b'cas i started using VMware for some windows work. I have 8 GB ram and I allocated 3 GB for VMWARE. Windows 7 is running on Vmware fusion. Full stack trace below.

Any suggestions please to fix this.

Have you recently added memory to your Mac Pro? The kernel panic you're getting may be related to a hardware fault which is common to kernel panics. There is nothing else in the KP report that indicates it's software but it's also possible it could be that.

Yes, I got it upgraded from 4 to 8 GB. What suggestions should I follow.

Pull the new memory modules and let the system run for awhile with the original modules. Let's see what happens. If the kernel panics stop, then we know that the memory you added is either defective or may be of the wrong type. By the way, memory for a Mac Pro has to be ECC. Ordinary memory modules used in other Macs will not work right.

And USB hubs are pretty temperamental FREDs, even the powered ones.

Did you get the memory from a Mac specialist? PC shops know zilch about the requirements of your Mac Pro for low density memory.
