Apparently this is a known problem with Windows 7. See for example this long thread which has many suggestions but no solution: http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/148867-vmware-vms-switched-off-by-themselves My suggestion would be to grab the event viewer logs from the shutdown machine: guestfish --ro -d Win7VM ><fs> copy-out /Windows/System32/winevt/Logs /tmp and you can decode these files using python-evtx (see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1109717) and see if Windows is giving any reason why it wants to shut down. In any case this doesn't seem to be a hypervisor issue.
