Hi,
I received an error when trying to set up Server 2019. It seemed to work fine with the server 2016 iso, but when I set the VM up with the Server 2019 iso it gave me the "critical error" message. I've attached the error and the zipped VBox.log file.

Re: Guru Meditation Error
I don't know if this is the cause, but I think your processor might be too old. You have a "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo E8400" dating from 2008. I wonder/suspect it is too old to run 2019. Also, I remember vaguely that Core 2's had some limitation that made them unsuitable for virtualization.
One thing you might try: You have only two non-hyperthreaded cores in the host PC, and both cores are set to be available to the guest. Try just 1 guest core. Performance will probably be less than stellar, but it might work.
Alternatively, try a refurbished i5 or i7 from a computer seller. Newegg has decent refurbished i5's $100-150-ish.
