Hi,
I'm running Virtual Box for Ubuntu on Windows 8. It works fine but after between 4-8 hours it freezes, maxes out 2 CPUs and has 100% disk usage (viewing in Task Manager).
This has been happening since I installed it (circa 4 weeks).
This is the error I get from the logs:
05:14:02.158162 OHCI#0: Lagging too far behind, not trying to catch up anymore. Expect glitches with USB devices
05:17:54.722629 VMMDev: vmmDevHeartbeatFlatlinedTimer: Guest seems to be unresponsive. Last heartbeat received 4 seconds ago
Log file attached.
The only USB device I am using is my mouse.
Any suggestions anyone?
Thanks

Re: VBox crashes after 4-8 hours OHCI#0
There have been several reports lately about Win10 systems freezing, with no clear indication on what might be going on. Here's a couple of things to try, with no assurance that they're going to work:
- Disable the KVM paravirtualization. VM Settings » System » Acceleration » Paravirtualization Interface: None.
- Check the energy/power settings of your host and your guest. The guest's ones set them to never sleep, full energy, no power savings, etc., you get the meaning. And in the host make sure that things like USB, network, graphics do not go into low power mode if they don't have to.

Hi @socratis....
This has been stable for 3 days now, so it seems it worked.
I did not do anything with the power settings, I just did this:

Re: VBox crashes after 4-8 hours OHCI#0
Actually that's not a good idea. Do not deprive your host from resources if you don't have to. 4096 is way more than a typical Win10 installation wants. Monitor your guest's memory allocation from within the guest with the Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc).monkia wrote:System -> Motherboard -> Base memory from 4096MB to 6871MB (half way)
Actually that's a better idea, but you need to improve on it. Take it all the way to 128MB.monkia wrote:Display -> Screen -> Video memory from 33MB to 45MB (half way)
Glad that the KVM thing worked for you, I was almost just shooting in the dark.

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback.
I'm running Windows 10 as the host and Ubuntu as the virtual box.
Windows is showing 66% memory usage. Of which 118MB is for VM.
When I'm in Ubuntu is it saying (watch command) 3617(?MB?) used (1675MB free).
It looks like both are running about balanced (about 25-33% free). Although, I have no idea why these figures shouldnt match approximately?

Yep, I got confused. Windows 10 is your host. VirtualBox runs on the host. Your guest (the Virtual Machine) is Ubuntu.monkia wrote:I'm running Windows 10 as the host and Ubuntu as the virtual box.
As for the memory part, I really don't know what is reported by Win10, but 118 MB sounds really, really low for a VM.
