Update:
It happend because of unsupported cpu instructions
these are the supported instructions on the cpu:

AVX: true
AVX2: false
AVX512: false
AVX512-VBMI: false
AVX512-VNNI: false
FMA: false
F16C: true

Once I disabled AVX2 and FMA, it worked!

I believe that whisper.cpp should check if the instructions enabled, and if they are supported by the cpu, and will raise it's own error instead of crashing
