Guru Error installing Windows 10 on Mac

Post by Trevisan »

Hello! I need help!
I'm failing to install Windows 10 on MacOS High Sierra (10.13.6).

Trying to concisely provide needed information :
Its an iMac (27-inch, Mid 2010) with a 2,8 GHz Intel Core i5 processor and 8GB (DDR3) where I'm trying to host a Windows 10 VM (ISO: Win10_1903_V2_EnglishInternational_x64).

The VM initiates in Windows first screen and then shows the Guru.

Im using a just downloaded version of VirtualBox.
Version 6.0.14 r133895 (Qt5.6.3).

I had relative success with Parallel, but would like to use VB since its free and very well recommended.

Thanks in advance.

This is your particular guru meditation - aka "the guest did something stupid that nothing could handle error". The cause is likely...
00:00:01.610763 Host RAM: 8192MB (8.0GB) total, 3103MB (3.0GB) available
00:00:01.745242   RamSize           <integer> = 0x0000000100000000 (4 294 967 296, 4 096 MB, 4.0 GB)
00:00:01.745556   VRamSize         <integer> = 0x0000000003000000 (50 331 648, 48 MB)
Your guest is allocating memory that your host doesn't have available. You should set the guests RAM to 2.0GB and set the VRAM to the max!

Please don't ask me to do your homework for you, I have more than enough of my own things to do.
