Hi,

The system requirements for for Kali 2 has increased. Make sure you have at least 2GB of RAM now for the Virtual Machine.
If your system is still having issues - you may with to switch to 'Kali Light' (which uses less resources as its XFCE and not GNOME). You can install the meta package to get all the same tools.

@Botmaster, try to manually set the virtualization method on VMware Workstation, and make sure you have it enabled in your BIOS.
Try something like this and let us know if it improved:
