Win7 32bit guest reset automatically on startup

Post by Credofire »

Hello

if I start a machine that I got from a friend for testing, the Win7 32bit always reset while loading.
On the screen is the "Windows is loading Files" and when the bar is at 100% the machine resets and starts new with windows startup.

Any hints for that? I disabled 2D and 3D but nothing helped.

Did you get the whole VM, or just the VDI and you built a recipe around that VDI?

That sounds like a guest problem, so I'm not sure what a VBox.log would show, but in any event it would be good to look at one:
  • Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe error / Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
  • With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
  • Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response. See the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
