Hello,

I am having problems with my virtual machine. It crashed and now i can't get past the booting of the VM (Windows XP). Host is Windows 10.
After the booting is supposed to be finished it crashes.

Can you help me figure this out?

Thanks!

You say "crash" but there is no sign of a crash in the log. The log shows you booted as far as the Guest Additions (6.1.4) running, which basically means that XP was fully running. It was then followed by this:
00:00:12.917291 VMMDev: Guest requests the VM to be turned off
Which is deliberate action, not a crash. If you didn't close the VM then XP did it itself. Where did this XP VM come from? I'm used to seeing this behaviour in trial licenses that have expired.

Other notes:
You can turn off 3D acceleration. There is no 3D acceleration for XP in VirtualBox 6.

Also, update VirtualBox to the latest version (6.1.18) and install the extension pack.

You still have a GAs CD in the drive, so you should eject that.
