“Your PC Needs To Restart” error on VMware Player 5 when installing Windows 8

I'm trying to install the latest Windows 8 preview on VMware Player 5, after trying build 8200 for a while.
Immediately after booting, it gives me the following error:
Your PC Needs To Restart.
Please hold down the power button.
Error Code: 0x0000005D
I have seen some other questions that recommend turning on a BIOS setting, but the old motherboard I am using does not appear to have such a setting.
Are there any workarounds?
EDIT
My motherboard is an ASUS P5LD2 with an intel core 2 duo.
I am now going through all the options in the bios that sound remotely like No-Execute Memory Protection, data execution protection or no-execute protection, but there's definitely no option that mentions protection.

PAE and NX support are in the system requirements of Windows 8. If you have an early XP-era CPU it probably doesn't have it, but most recent ones have it. It could be under a variety of names like data execution protection and no-execute protection. To help us help you, could you also list the model of your cpu and motherboard.

Actually... you're using a Core2 processor, I believe all those were 64-bit capable and all 64-bit capable processors support NX. Intel called that feature eXecute Disable, look for that under advanced CPU settings in your BIOS configuration utility.

From Unable to install Windows 8 - Error Code 0x0000005D:
Unlike Windows Vista and 7, Windows 8 (as from build 8400) is not
compatible with all models of the Pentium 4 processor.
This is due to the fact that Windows 8 requires a processor compatible
with the following functions: SSE2, PAE and NX bit. All Pentium 4 are
compatible with SSE2 and EAP: the problem may come from the NX bit.
First, make sure your Pentium 4 model supports the NX bit: for sockets 423 or 478 processors, then it won't work (in most cases).
For sockets 775 processors, it can be compatible. If the CPU supports NX-bit, you can install Windows 8 32-bit or 64-bit (it
depends on the models!).
Also make sure that NX bit is not disabled in the BIOS (if present).
Here's a how-to guide to help you fix this specific problem .
