Not sure if this will help in your case but within a windows environment I ran crc within a virtual machine, this gave me a more detailed error message stating I was out of RAM.

start-vm -name 'crc'

start-vm : 'crc' failed to start.
Unable to allocate 10752 MB of RAM: Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.

Thank you. I was out of RAM too.
