I have been running laravel and using vagrant for a while now. I recently did a vagrant destroy to reload from a fresh install, and now I can't get the box to load at all. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling from scratch Virtualbox, vagrant, and homestead (I'm using composer to install it for a project-specific installation). I've made sure to enable Oracle in the Security settings on my Mac. I'm completely at a loss because the error messages are pretty useless and I've found nothing online.
Versions of everything:

The guest machine entered an invalid state while waiting for it
to boot. Valid states are 'starting, running'. The machine is in the
'aborted' state. Please verify everything is configured
properly and try again.
If the provider you're using has a GUI that comes with it,
it is often helpful to open that and watch the machine, since the
GUI often has more helpful error messages than Vagrant can retrieve.
For example, if you're using VirtualBox, run `vagrant up` while the
VirtualBox GUI is open.
The primary issue for this error is that the provider you're using
is not properly configured. This is very rarely a Vagrant issue.
I've looked in the VirtualBox logs, but nothing seemed useful...happy to post those if you need them.
Turns out, this was caused by Intel Power Gadget (https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/articles/intel-power-gadget.html) that I had installed recently. Uninstalling it and restarting cleared up the problem.
