Virtualbox screen goes all dark a few times per week.

Post by phattrance »

Virtualbox screen goes all dark a few times per week. Giving it more video memory or system memory doesnt help. Any idea on what causing this and how to fix it?

Im using the latest version of Virtualbox and Windows 10

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

Please right-click the guest in the main Virtualbox window's guest list, choose Show Log. Save the far left tab's log, zip the log file, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

Do you have any sleep power settings enabled in the guest OS?
