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

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.

There are several possible errors that can occur when using Hashcat, so the steps to fix an error will depend on the specific error message you receive. Here are some general steps that you can follow to troubleshoot and fix Hashcat errors:

Check the Hashcat documentation: The first step when encountering a Hashcat error is to consult the official Hashcat documentation. The documentation contains a troubleshooting section that can help you identify the cause of the error and provide guidance on how to fix it.

Verify your input files: Ensure that the input files you are using are correct and in the correct format. If you are trying to crack a hash, make sure that the hash is in the correct format and that you have the correct hash mode selected in Hashcat.

Check your command-line arguments: Make sure that you are using the correct command-line arguments and that they are in the correct order. Double-check the syntax of your command to make sure you haven’t made any typos.
