since some time I'm having issue's with my vBox host machine. There are frequent crashes of the host machine. First I thought it's a host OS related problem (Linux MInt) , but now I think it's more related to VirtualBox because the issue only come's up while the VM is running.
I wrote the following in the Mint forum . I have also added Linux Mint logs in that forum,
Up until the point I'm starting the VM, the system works fine. Then I start the VM and at some point (e.g. after few minutes, up to 10 min.) Mint freezes. I can still move the mouse arrow (actually it has some "pixelish" square box instead of an arrow) and often times I can still switch to a terminal with ctrl+ F2,F3, etc. , but other than that the system doesn't react anymore.
I've waited some time 10 - 20 min. , but that doesn't help. The freeze remains.
Bofore starting the VM, closing Firefox and other apps that work with video seem to have an impact because the freeze doesn't come or much, much later, even when the VM is running.
I do get a lot of the following messages on the CLI / Terminal after the freeze. I can also pause the VM during the freeze with a command and reboot Mint with the reboot command.
