Welcome to the Communities..
I tried to install different OS on the box and got BSOD
Since you have tried to install a differernt OS and you get a BSOD then there is something wrong with the hardware. Please check the hardware first
I've been struggling with this ESXi install I keep getting this error stating it cannot install ESXi
What is the exact error message and make sure the hardware is listed in VMware HCL and check for whitebox HCL which has been tested
