Hi,
Not seeing anything wrong in the .log file(s).
The settings all look very sensible and no clear errors that are reported in the log.
The one thing that has me wondering is if perhaps the CPU is too old. It's a CPU from 2009 and it might just have fallen off the list of supported CPU's. While I would have expected a proper error to pop up in that case, it might have slipped through the checks somehow.
The thing I would suggest to try is to install VMware Workstation Player 15.1 and see if that one runs.
You should be able to download it from: Download VMware Player 15.1
(Please note that you might have to click on the above link 2 times, 1 times for logging in and a second time for the actual download, something to do with broken download logic from vmware)
Hope this helps,
