Critical Error - Guru Meditation - El Capitan on Windows 10

Post by kstarr »

First time trying to run a virtual machine on this computer.

I'm using VirtualBox 5.2.8 and a .vmdk of El Capitan, getting this error when trying to start the virtual machine (no successful boots yet):
"A critical error has occurred while running the virtual machine and the machine execution has been stopped."
(The forum won't let me post an image until after 1 day of membership and 1 post - I will add the picture here with an edit tomorrow if able).

Computer Information:

OS: Windows 10 Pro
Processor: AMD FX(tm)-8320 Eight Core 3.5 GHz
Mobo: ASUS M5A97 R2.0
Chipset: AMD RD9x0
Memory: 16 GB DDR3, 2383.8 MHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070


My log file from the moment the error occurs... erm... will be attached tomorrow. Yet another forum limitation.
It tells me to come to this forum for help and then doesn't let me provide my potential helpers with all the information they may need.
:x

Okay then, below is the end of the log. Maybe the problem is evident here, it's voodoo to me... graphics problem???

It looks like you are trying to run macOS guest on non-Apple hardware which is against the Apple license agreement and therefore not something that can be condoned or supported here. See Important notice regarding Mac OS X as Guest.

One, or more, of the following will happen shortly...

1. A friendly site moderator will lock your post.
2. The lawyers in Cupertino will send you some interesting papers you might want to read.
3. Your local law enforcement will come knocking on your door. :)

The forum stops new users from posting offsite URLs, it doesn't stop local attachments which are preferred in any case.

The main limitation in evidence here is limited reading of previous posts on these subjects.
