Edit the .vmx file and search for vpmc.enabled. Set it to FALSE.

Virtualized performance counters are not supported on the host CPU type

This error report clearly shows that your host CPU model won't support Virtualization. So you can't run any Virtualization softwares like VirtualBox,VMWare,etc.

I encountered this problem on my Mac after upgrading to a new Macbook pro. I went to the VM settings, then Processor and Memory tab, then "advanced options" and uncheck both options. I was then able to boot up the virtual machine.
