Some information about your host systems, software versions, ... would be helpful.

Did it work before, or has it never worked?

Please attach the log file mentioned in the error message to a reply post.

It never work. The log file was not found in the specified directory. I am running Windows 8 in my Laptop and VMWare Workstation 11.

What type of laptop (vendor/model) do you have, and which CPU/processor does it use?

Are there no log file in the VM's folder? If there are vmware*.log files, please compress/zip them along with the VM's configuration (.vmx) file and attach the .zip file to a reply post.

I use HP Core 2 Duo, Intel Processor. There is no log file created.

I'm afraid that could be an issue with the CPU not supporting required features!?

Maybe jmattson‌‌ sees this discussion and can clarify things.

The failure indicates that you are using binary translation on a CPU that doesn't support CPUID spoofing, and the guest CPUID features don't match the host CPUID features.  I am a little surprised that this is happening, but it is an old processor, and it might not support CPUID masking.  I would like to see the vmware.log file if you can find it. 

You should be able to work around this issue by changing the preferred execution mode to VT-x, assuming that VT-x is enabled on the host, and that the guest OS isn't one of the few that requires binary translation.

Hello, please forgive me if I up an old post, but I have the same problem. The error is exactly the same, but it occurs on a brand new laptop (an HP 450 G4, Core i5) with a virtual machine that was running on another laptop.

The host on which the virtual machine worked had Windows 7, while the new laptop (on which the cirtual machine returns the "vcpu-0:VERIFY vmcore/vmm/main/cpuid.c:386 bugNr=1036521" error at startup) has Windows 10.

Please, could you possibly help me finding the problem?

thank you a lot in advance

Hi,

The tip from jmattson still counts.

Go into the BIOS/EFI from your HP laptop and enable VT-x/virtualisation.

Then power cycle the laptop (if possible take the battery out) to apply the new setting.

I'm getting this on a new laptop when trying to create a new VM - running existing VMs has been no problem.

I have a Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7500U CPU @ 2.70GHz

Currently the host is Fedora 26, with kernel 4.13.5-200.fc26.x86_64.

I have virtulisation enabled in the bios.

I realize I am bringing up an old topic it seems. But I am currently running into this issue trying to start a Palo Alto VM.

I found a fix on my machine for this error.   You need to ensure:

a.) Virtualization (VT-X) is turned on at the BIOS level

b.) The "Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI" tickbox must be set in Hardware->Processors.

c.) Preferred mode should be left at automatic.

I had an old virtual machine for MS-DOS, which required the above to work on my new Ryzen processor.   Hope this works for y'all.  I have had a few VM's requiring same.
