So I'm trying to run a virtual machine of Mac OSX El Capitan on Windows 10. I have a Ryzen 7 1700, 8GB of Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 300Mhz, and an Asus Strix RX 480 8GB. Everything seemed fine up until when I clicked to run the vm and i got an error saying

 

"A fault has occurred causing a virtual CPU to enter the shutdown state. If this fault had occurred outside of a virtual machine, it would have caused the physical machine to restart. The shutdown state can be reached by incorrectly configuring the virtual machine, a bug in the guest operating system, or a problem in VMware Player.

Click OK to restart the virtual machine or Cancel to power off the virtual machine."

 

I have tried turning on and off virtualization on in my bios, as well as smt, and I cannot get it to run. I have the VM configured to use 4GB of ram, and 4 cores, and 4 cores with 8 threads. Any ideas as to why this won't boot for me?

Because it's not supposed to. We can't discuss Hackintosh stuff here. It's against Apple's TOS and therefore technically illegal.

1.) macOS does not have Ryzen support 

2.) VMing macOS is not going to run well on a PC

3.) Not really supposed to do it.

Just now, DrMacintosh said:

Technically High Sierra does, and Sierra might, but that's on native hardware, not a virtual machine.

sorry mate, but we cannot allow discussions of support on non-supported OSs.
