Windows 7 Guest won't start on Preview Build 14367

Post by wdupree »

Original post from another thread; just updated to 14367 and still having the same issue. Nothing in the Event Viewer and updated to 5.0.22 as well. I have tried to create a brand new Windows 7 instance with no luck as well.

Virtualbox starts for me (the VM Manager), but when I try to start a Windows 7 VM I've been using for a long time (a dev box) it crashes and has been doing so since I started using the Redstone builds (currently on the latest, 14366). I've tried the latest stable and preview versions to no avail. It BSODs every time but I cannot seem to find the error in the event logs - any ideas? Thanks!

Just to update - this is still happening for me on the latest build (14385) I have been able to find this now in the reliability logs (still can't find anything in the Event Viewer):

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000003b (0x00000000c0000096, 0xffffaf01ea5bc8b3, 0xffffaf01e8e29cf0, 0x0000000000000000). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 33cfe5e5-8e5e-451b-9b60-0f79de9fd269.

Another update - I nuked it and restarted from build 14379 (slow ring, for some reason it put me on that one instead of fast after the refresh tool) then updated to 14388 (switched back to fast ring) and installed 5.1; my VM starts back up again so hopefully whatever the issue was is gone... :)

Ok - scratch that. After getting the machine back to basics and updating it to the latest technical build, I put Office 2016 and Visual Studio 2015 on and the next time I tried to start up the VM - BSOD :( Any ideas? I think it has something to do with Visual Studio, but am not sure.
