Unable to install ubuntu in vmware, causing BSOD(vmx86.sys) in windows 10

Hi,

I couldn't able to install ubuntu/kali in vmware player. After finishing initial configurations(default recommendations), the moment I press play virtual machine, windows 10 crashes with BSOD and shows

stopcode: KMODE EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED 

what failed: vmx86.sys

The only change happen in my PC is replaced HDD with SSD(on same sata port). Other wise, It was working normal when I am using HDD.

I reinstalled windows10(thought of drivers problem) and tried vmware, same issue.

I tried to install kali 2018.2 32bit iso , no luck, and I tired prebuild kali vmware package, again no luck.

tried "verifier /reset" from run command, no use.

Not even this, even with vbox also I could not able to install any linux on my windows 10 PC, only difference is vbox is poping up error instead of BSOD!

I am using Dell inspiron 15, with Intel P6100, 8GB RAM, 240GB SSD.

Can any one encountered same, Please help me to fix this.
