Windows 10: VSL Virtualization Failed BSOD

Im trying to set up a virtual machine on old lenovo laptop 330-15IGM. Got to the point when i need to turn on Intel VT in BIOS and after that im getting "VSL Virtualization Failed" BSOD on every boot. Turning VT off gets rid of this error but i need to get VM running. I tried almost everything i could find on internet including updating chipset driver but nothing seems to work. Its my first time trying to set up a virtual machine so i might be missing something.

I have attempted to run an online game called world of Warcraft.. I have been getting error after error..I have repaired most of them. I think they all have to do with drivers. So I downloaded and installed the Latest driver from AMD for the Graphics
card. Now I,m getting...VSL INITIALAZATION FAILED. So how do I fix it?

 

BSOD when launching Virtual Machine

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I appreciate your effort on this. I understand how difficult it could be when the computer doesn’t work as it is supposed to, we will look into this for you. Please reply with the following details to assist you with the appropriate troubleshooting
steps:

• Which application are you using to create Virtual Machine?
  
• Does the issue occur only when launching a Virtual Machine?
  
• Have you reinstalled Windows on the computer?
  
• What is the make and model of the computer?
  

I have analyzed the dump files shared by you. Since the issue occurs when you launch Virtual Machine, I suggest you to try disabling the VMWare USB Arbitration Service and check if that helps. Please follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows key + R, to open
   Run dialog box.
   
2. Type services.msc and click on
   OK.
   
3. Look for the VMWare USB Arbitration Service and double click on it to open
   Properties.
   
4. Select Disabled from the drop down for
   Startup and Stop the service.
   
5. Click on Apply and OK.
   

Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.
