OMEN 16 crashes when running VM Ware machine

[drajas]

I want to run VM Ware 16 on my laptop, but everytime the VM tries to start my laptop receives windows 11 blue screen and restarts. I have tried with VM Ware 15 and 14.

Same error.

Any suggestions?

I updated all, but keeps crashing and restarting.

The bios of my omen 16 is graphical.

Virtualization is turned on on bios.

Even if only the VM crashes, please run a full hardware test.

(1) Test your hardware Using the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI)

The lack of calibration has nothing to do with the VM crash.

I'll check something and get back to you.

Hello @drajas 

You have the same error with VMware 14, 15 and 16, right ?
