So to begin with I am trying to use VMWare Workstation to boot kali Linux on and I have tried the VMWare images and also installing the iso itself on a virtual machine and have got the same error with everything I have tried "A problem has occurred and the system cant recover. Please contact a system administrator." At this point I have also tried the Virtual Box images and installing the iso as well and I got the same error as before. However, before the Kali Linux 2.0 came out Kali Linux 1.x worked fine on the VMWare Workstation up until I tried to put Kali 2.0 on.

I am running VMWare on a Surface 3 with 4 GB of ram. (Also I have tried lowering the ram on the VM, (same error)).

I am stuck on what to do next, Thanks in advance for any reply that helps.
