Fatal error (blue screen of death) when starting VM

Post by HLR »

Hello,

I've only recently started using VirtualBox and have been running it for about a month without issues. I've installed VirtualBox 6.1 (checked for updates and it said I'm running the most recent version) on Windows 10 (10.0.1.19042) and have set up a Linux VM with Pop!_OS. All of a sudden, I'm running into a fatal error every time I try to start Pop!_OS in VirtualBox. I can open VB, but when I try to start my VM, it crashes my PC (blue screen, fatal error, PC restarts). Running VB as an administrator makes no difference (a suggestion I saw somewhere). I'm not sure how to resolve this. This set up is essential for me to get working, and I'm not sure why this is happening suddenly. Any help would be appreciated. If there are log files I should be looking at, or anything I should be trying, please suggest away.

EDIT: If it helps, both Hyper-V and Microsoft Defender Application Guard are already turned off on my Windows PC (I double checked that when I was looking for a solution, but were already already off on my machine, so that's not causing the issue). I also checked my Windows update history. There was an Intel - net - 22.40.0.7 update around the same time, plus a Microsoft Defender and Security Intelligence update. Nothing else updated more recently than two weeks ago.

try uninstalling Virtualbox, reboot, then reinstall Virtualbox using right-click Run As Administrator, even if your account is already an admin.

If that does not stop the BSODs, download Nirsoft BlueScreenView (free) https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html and see if you can determine the BSOD code and source crashing file.

Unfortunately, uninstalling and reinstalling VirtualBox did not solve the issue. I'm still getting to BSOD everything time I try to start my Pop!_OS VM from VirtualBox. I finally caught the error listed on the screen, which is the "PNP_DETECTED_FATAL_ERROR". Looking back at driver updates and such, there doesn't seem to be any PnP devices that had driver updates at the time this issue started happening (and no new devices have been introduced). In term of PnP devices, I have an external monitor, camera, mouse, keyboard, and mic plugged in (always plugged in). Nothing changed in my setup since I first started using VirtualBox.

I should note that this is a work computer, so I can't download any third-party software that isn't approved (such as the Nirsoft application suggested). Since it's a remote company, there's no onsite IT in my home, either. :) The only suggestion I received from IT about this is to use something like VMWare instead of VirtualBox, or a second laptop dedicated just to Linux (which defeats the point of having a single device attached to a single external monitor/keyboard/mouse/camera that allows me to easily switch back and forth between the two OSes. I'd love to be able to get VirtualBox working again, though. It was great for the month or so it actually worked, before it started crashing my PC everything time I tried to start the Linux VM.

OK, I guess there's nothing that can be done if your work's IT won't let you troubleshoot. Though you did get authorization to use Virtualbox, which is a lot deeper than a BSOD diagnoser. Ask IT what to do to diagnose the BSOD, is all I can suggest. Usually, knowing that the PC has IT overlords from work is a good thing to put in the first post, so we know the full story of what we're dealing with.

Virtualbox doesn't normally cause BSODs, as my reading of the forum for several years shows. It does happen, but very often because of something else on the PC besides Virtualbox, or an OS bit-flip somewhere that a complete reinstall of the host OS and progs fixes. The IT dept probably have their fingers in the pie and something they want on the PC interferes with Virtualbox. Probably nothing we can do about that, unless your boss is willing to go to bat for you with IT to get them to enable your Virtualbox.

Alternatives IT may like better could be to forget Virtualbox and bring your existing VM into Hyper-V or WSL2.

FWIW, googling "site:forums.virtualbox.org PNP_DETECTED_FATAL_ERROR" yields a few cases where USB devices played a role. For a test, detach all USB devices, reboot the host, and see if the problem persists.

Thanks for the follow up, @scottgus1 and @fth0. I was able to get permission for the bluescreen tool after all (it had to pass a security review first). It's pointing to the VBoxUSBMon.sys driver as causing the issue. Since I need to use my USB devices, are there any workarounds for this that either of you are aware of? I'm finding posts of other people having similar issues, but no solutions. FYI, these USB devices are always plugged in (it's not a matter of crashing when devices are plugged in or unplugged after things are running).

Note that I have just updated Windows (now on build 19043.1023) and reinstalled VirtualBox to try to resolve the issue, but the error persists.

if you are sure you will never want to use USB in your VMs, you can un/re-install Virtualbox without the optional USB system. That should remove VBoxUSBMon.sys

Alternatively, remove all USB devices but the mouse and keyboard, see if Virtualbox will run sans BSOD. If it does, add one other device, try again. Continue adding devices one at a time until the BSOD returns. If you can pin down one device that must be present for the Virtualbox BSOD, then maybe just that decice can be unplugged when running a VM.

That's why I wrote "For a test, ...". It could be interesting to know which USB device contributes to the problem.

In addition to that, please provide a zip file containing everything in C:\Users\<username>\.VirtualBox\.

Keeping the following option for later, if necessary:
Depending on the Windows host's configuration, you'll either find one or several minidump files in C:\Windows\Minidump, or one file named C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP, or both. Can you provide such a file, corresponding to a host crash? Note that you probably cannot attach it to a posting here, because it will exceed the 128 kB limit of the VirtualBox forums.

My apologies for the delayed reply. It took a little while before I was able to test things out again. So, I started by unplugging all USB devices and the Linux VM worked fine (no BSOD). I then proceeded to plug in one USB device at a time. Keyboard and mouse were fine, but the issue was the USB hub (where my external camera is plugged in -- with my current setup, I can't use the built-in camera, so I have an external camera mounted on my external monitor). When I plugged that in the hub (it's a USB-C device), there was a "failed to read USB card reader" error (the hub does have a card reader as well as several USB slots). However, even with that error now coming up every time I start up the VM, it's no longer crashing, and I can still use the camera on the Windows host.

So, if I do see the BSOD again when starting up the VM, I know the culprit. While I can't use the VM without the external keyboard and mouse (without completely overhauling my work setup), I can live without the external camera most of the time.

Thanks for all your help!

Oh, and if it's useful at all, I did go through the log files. The VBboxSVC.log file is the only one that included any information about this. I'll just paste the info here, rather than uploading all the files.

Re: Fatal error (blue screen of death) when starting VM

Post by sarj »

I have virtually the exact same log as above. just need better guidance and hoping to find it here. Is there a fix for this? it really seems prevalent to any installation where USB is added, removed, or switched and the manager is opened.

I have the manager opened and when i switch on my KVM to another machine - as soon as i switch back CRASH!!!...

i have done all M$ recommends, all that forums recommend and it is just a continual thing that is documented for ages with VB. I have to believe that there is a fix that doesnt include moving to VMWARE.

That is a bit of a rant but i guess i am trying to figure out if i need to move from Windows and VB to another host OS or to VMWARE.

But for sure - on windows it is a crash guaranteed if i disconnect USB and expect to come back and not spend a large chunk of time rebooting.

sarj, without any troubleshooting info there is nothing we will be able to do for you.

Please start a new topic, and provide the diagnostic info asked for above in your new topic.

I will fire off a new topic another time but for now i went ahead and performed same tests as was previously mentioned in this thread; removing all usb. No more time spent on M$ telling me its a driver issue in vbox or sending minidumps i just removed every USB device from my system.

If i have everything connected and launch the VB manager it works fine, launch the session it works fine, work in session and close session and the close manager - all work fine. But have manager up and as soon as duty calls and i need to switch computers - i press button on the KVM, do my work and then switch back to VB host... CRASH! However if I close VB Manager before switching i can switch back and forth from all my computers with no issue. Leave it VB Manager open and it is a confident BSOD

VB doesnt play nice with USB hubs or KVM switches. So - I will need to do more testing. In the end virtualbox does not like anything that functions as a hub for usb devices. Neither the host or the session have issue with USB - only VB Manager has problem with it.

thanks for the poke and the good notes above.
