Attempted to run Fedora 27 guest on Windows 7 host

My Fedora 27 VM installed successfully last night. I am putting it on a Windows 7 host 64-bit system. My Fedora is a 32-bit, as I was led to believe I could only use 32-bit OS as a guest operating system by the New VM wizard.

However, when the VM restarts, I get a critical error and the VM stops. I am directed to submit the log files here, so that is what I am doing. Not sure what is happening here.

Can someone interpret this for me and tell me what is happening here?

Thank you.

Please go thoroughly through the FAQ: I have a 64bit host, but can't install 64bit guests. Those are guidelines, you have to use your judgement...

By addressing this, you will most probably fix the Guru. And you'll get your 64bit clients as an option.


PS. You don't need to attach all your logs. Just a VBox.log that shows the problem, the VBoxHardening.log if there's a hardening failure, and definitely not 3 black PNGs that add nothing to the problem description.
