You are having a Machine Ckeck Exception. 100% hardware error. KB VMware KB: Decoding Machine Check Exception (MCE) output after a purple screen error can help you trying to find the faulty hardware, and states:

"If an MCE is thrown and a purple diagnostic screen is displayed, a hardware problem has caused it. There is no other way to generate an MCE."

As you are running a non-supported hardware, may be very difficult to find out what is wrong.
