Start the VM from full normal shutdown, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the VM from within the VM's OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the VM with the Power Off option set.

Right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show Log. Save the far left tab's log and the hardening log next to it, zip them, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

when i save current state and load up from that state it all is fine, shutting down works but sometimes slow! everytime its shut down the start up is very long and most of time stalls on splash screen for 20 mins, so even the newest kernal is not fixed this issue! the problem is with virtual box itself! start with detached mode works but noraml start no it dont work! the client vm is mint (linux).
