Umm I could try to help. So first of all did you check for error messages that you get:

if not check the threads I found on hashcat’s site illegal hardware instructions, Watchdog temperature abort trigger disabled. If that doesn’t help keep asking and you’ll get the answer.

Thanks, unfortunately it didn’t fix it but I find that maybe is because I’m using virtualbox and need to use my own main windows so I did that and I have many more errors


so I’m going to search some solutions if you have and idea I would be very grateful

Yeah, from my experience if you get more problems solving a problem it usually means that the problem runs deeper than you think. I can see that now there is a one problem that was “solved”:

by solved I mean it gave you an explanation for why is there a problem in a first place.

That’s all the help I can give you for now. If you do not find the answer at worst you could try to reinstall the virtual machine.
