I am trying to start an Ubuntu (32 bit) VM and am getting an error - A critical error has occured while running the virtual machine and the machine execution has been stopped.
Have zipped and attached the log files - please can you help.

Re: Critical error while running virtual machine
This is the Guru Meditation that you're getting.00:00:25.304025 !! VCPU0: Guru Meditation -2403 (VERR_TRPM_DONT_PANIC)
And this is "why" you're getting that error. You will need to address/fix the VT-x availability. Your i5-450M CPU most certainly supports VT-x, so it's a matter of enabling it in the BIOS. See your PC's manufacturer help on how to do this. Also, make sure that nothing else has an exclusive hold on the VT-x.00:00:03.748700 HM: HMR3Init: Falling back to raw-mode: VT-x is disabled in the BIOS for all CPU modes 00:00:04.881913 Full Name: "Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 450 @ 2.40GHz"
But, besides that, I'd really like to point out your RAM situation:
The RAM that you have installed is barely enough to run your Windows 10 host. And you see that it has 1046 MB left for applications only. And you assigned 2048 MB to your VM. Where is that RAM going to come from? You don't have it to begin with! You seriously need to get a lot more of RAM if you want to run any VMs.00:00:03.600417 Host RAM: 2934MB (2.8GB) total, 1046MB available 00:00:03.747996 RamSize <integer> = 0x0000000080000000 (2 147 483 648, 2 048 MB)

Re: Critical error while running virtual machine
Awesome, thanks a lot. I enabled virtualization in the BIOS, and it worked.
Absolutely take your point about the shortage of RAM. I am taking a Hyperledger course on my old laptop which I use mainly for learning/music etc. The course requires me to install this, so its more of a one time activity. For now, I have reduced the requirement to 1GB RAM and will give it a shot, even if it slows my VM down
Thanks again.
Cheers,
Arun
