Do you have virtualization enabled through the BIOS of your VMware? There is an option to enable either Intel VT-d or AMD-v/RVI through the options of VMware, depending on the model of your processor, but the BIOS has to be set up to turn it on. Its disabled by default for end users for security, as most do not know how to set up a firewall or antivirus on their "HOST" OS.
Your virtual RAM looks fine, sometimes allocating too much virtual RAM will crash VMware. Check and also make sure you got virtual memory swapping enabled and up your memory allocated to VMware to half of your on-board memory (3GB for your 6GB of memory on your comp ) in the options of VMware . That might help also. Its says it might degrade performance in the options of VMware but you will never tell unless you got a server set up with 3 or more virtual machines on it. On a single machine it will not matter.
Also check the settings in the 'processor' options to set up using all of your cores on your CPU if you have not enabled them already.
Update to the latest VMware player or workstation, whichever version you are using. And update the VMware tools by running this command.
Code:
sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools
