[Solved] Windows XP crashes on latest version of VB. HELP!!

Post by GameExpress »

I recently updated to the newest version of VB (version 5.2.12 122591) and I turned on my Windows XP machine. While loading it crashed with a "Guru meditation" error message.
I can boot Windows XP in safe mode, but I cannot boot it normally.
I troubleshooted a bit in the logs but I couldn't find anything or fix it.
I posted the logs. (into 3 parts since they were larger that 128kB)

P.S. While troubleshooting I found a suspicious message in the logs at line 1253 (pt. 3) which says "Not in text mode!", then the next line is all !!!!!, and the line after that says "emR3Debug: rc=VERR_REM_VIRTUAL_CPU_ERROR"

Please remove those logs and replace them with a single zipped file.

You have a Windows 10 host which has inbuilt capabilities to create a zipped version of the file that would have been much easier to attach and then allow us to look through.

It appears as though some of the acceleration settings are wrong as you have an Intel i5-6500 processor that supports VT-x but there is no mention of it in the log file. I would try...

1. In the guest settings in the "System" -> "Acceleration" tab check that the Paravirtualization interface option is set to "Default" it looks as though it may be set to "None".

2. Check that VT-x support is enabled in the BIOS - you will need to see your PC's manufacturer help on how to do this and make sure that nothing else has an exclusive hold on the VT-x.

3. Try starting the guest again and if it still doesn't work, post a new log file (zipped of course).
