Windows Server VM ends

I've been using Virtual Box for testing environments for a bit and haven't really had any issues (mostly linux and windows 10). I now have a Windows Server that seems to randomly stop running and I'm not sure what to do to trouble shoot it. From what I can tell it's only doing it when I run it headless. When run in the foreground it seems to stay running.

Any suggestions on where to start troubleshooting would be appreciated.

Thx,
Luke

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

Please right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM 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.
