I never saw display crash on my computer before vmware. It crashes really quick (5 to 10 minutes) when using a browser with several tabs open in guest OS.
I just turned off "Accelerated 3D graphics" in VMware setting for the gues OS, and so far there is no display driver crash.
I guess, at least for me, it's Accelerated 3D graphics in VMware that crashes display drivers on my computer.
It's been 2 hours without the crash.
