Black screen after "Loading ESXI installer"

Hello! I have some problems to install Esxi 5.5 update 2 on my pc:

configuration is:

- I5 6400 Cpu

- asus h110 m2 d3 Motherboard

-  DDR3 -  8GB

- Nvidia Gt210

- 1 sata hard drive

After "loading ESXI installer" image dissapears and i have black screen also keyboard does not respond.

In bios enable VT and VT-d, start install in legacy mode. How can i fix this?

Update:

In BIOS CSM - Enabled and Secure Boot Set it Other OS. The add in the ignoreHeadless=TRUE in the boot parameter list is not help. I have black screen after "Relocating modules and starting up the kernel…” also keyboard doesn't respond.

How can i fix this?

Hello,

Can I ask what this is for? Work? Home Lab?

If its for a home lab I'd recommend installing an operating system,  putting VMware workstation on the box and then running an ESXi inside there.

Anyway did you check the hardware compatibility from the link that was given? I'm not sure how well supported Asus products are with ESXi, but I would guess a lot aren't supported.

Kind Regards,

RJ
