8.7.0.0 has never existed.
The 'oradmin.log' file does not exist. The oradmin command does not exist.
How can anyone trust the rest of your post is accurate? Did you look in the alert log?
Likely your init.ora parameters conflict with available RAM,. and Oracle simply can't create the SGA.
Your post however provides no clue whatsoever. As a rule you should also look up error messages yourself, and post the associated message text, as no one knows all error messages by heart, and this is a volunteer forum.
