The typical cause of this is that you picked the wrong guest OS type.
For 8.1 and later it is important that Windows 8.1 is picked, because it
requires additional CPU features, otherwise it will show the above black
screen of death.

It's of course also possible that your CPU doesn't meet the minimum
requirements for 8.1/10, and then you're out of luck.
