Fixing Mac OS X in VMware Crashing Issue

Are you experiencing a frustrating issue where your Mac OS X installation in VMware keeps crashing during boot-up? You're not alone. Many users have reported similar problems, and I'm here to help you troubleshoot the issue.

My setup is as follows: I'm using a Lenovo ideapad Y700 Touch-15ISK laptop with a System SKU of LENOVO_MT_80NW_BU_idea_FM. I've installed VMware Workstation Player 12.5.1 build-4542065 on Windows 10, and my Mac OS X installation is running on version 10.11.

Initially, I thought the issue might be related to Python 2.7 not being installed, but after ensuring it was present, the problem persisted. I also tried removing VMware Tools, uninstalling MS Office from the Mac, and uninstaling all apps that I had installed on the Mac. Changing the amount of RAM available didn't make a difference either.

However, I did notice that if I replace the current vmdk file with a copy that was working before the issue occurred, it boots up just fine until I restart or shut down the virtual machine again. This led me to suspect that there might be an issue with the vmdk file itself.

To troubleshoot further, I checked the log files generated by VMware, but unfortunately, they didn't provide any clear indication of what's causing the problem. When running the VMware application, it starts up normally, but during Mac OS X boot-up, the logo and loading gauge move about halfway before the entire application shuts down.
