I run 5 Windows 7 Virtual Machines, Intermittently some of them will hang at the BIOS Screen for anywhere from 30 seconds to a few minutes before continuing onto the windows splash screen to continue booting. I've recently migrated the VM's to an SSD and the problem has persisted. Their is no pattern on which of the 5 will hang, it just seems to be completely random.
Any suggestions?

Re: Intermittent Long Boot Times
Remember that simple rule:
- Total CPUs for your guests ≤ Host CPUs + 1.
- Total RAM+vRAM+overhead for your guests ≤ Host available RAM + some.
