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 ?
