These are the details of my physical server:

Windows Edition: Windows Server 2008 R2

Processor: Intel Xeon

System Type: 64 bit operating system

I am trying to run CentOS 7 using VMware Workstation Pro Version 14. After creating the VM, when trying to run it I get a black screen in the console. Console View Always Black

while exiting from the console view you can see actually CentOS 7 installation and leaving it running will actually successfully install CentOS and will ask you for the language but I can't choose anything from outside the console view, neither inside the console view(black screen).

Installation Can be seen successfully when not in console view

Please note the following:

  • I tried both CentOS 7 minimal and everything isos downloaded from the CentOS official website
  • I enabled Intel Virtualization in the BIOS as requested in VMWare Community Website
  • I started the VMWare Authorization Server in the services section as mentioned in VMWare Community Website
  • I have no anti-virus running
  • I tried using VMWare Player instead of VMWare Workstation and the same error occurred

  • This is the complete VMWare log file
