virtualbox.org

I have been trying to instal Fedora 28 on my VirtualBox but I keep getting the following error when I click start.
My host computer is a Windows 10, aIso space should not be the issues b/c I installed the VM on an 2TB external drive (the hard drive is band new). I also tried installing Fedora 28 on the hard drive then when that did not work I installed it on my host computer but i still get the same error.
I have also attached the the log file.

VirtualBoxVM.exe - Application Error
The instruction at 0x00007FF84C39A6D4 referenced memory at 0x0000000000000000. The memory could not be read. Once I select ok on the 1st error the VM goes away and this error shows up.
The VM session was aborted.
Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: SessionMachine
Interface: ISession {c0447716-ff5a-4795-b57a-ecd5fffa18a4} Here is the log file. I have no idea what to do, please help.

You have Hyper-v enabled. It looks like it causes some kind of conflict with the audio.

00:00:03.135720 HM: HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM: AMD-V is not available
00:00:03.180286 NEM: info: Found optional import WinHvPlatform.dll!WHvQueryGpaRangeDirtyBitmap.
00:00:03.180385 NEM: WHvCapabilityCodeHypervisorPresent is TRUE, so this might work...

You should also give the VM a second CPU core.

See HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM (Hyper-V is active).

So i followed the post that you gave me. I was able to disabled the Hyper-v but I still received the same error. However when i looked at the log that error was not there anymore. here is the new log file.

Hyper-V is gone now, good. But still the same crash, before the VM 'hardware' was fully set up.

Please uninstall Virtualbox and reboot.
Go to "C:\Windows\System32\drivers", look for any files called 'Vbox*.sys' (there could be up to 5) and delete them.
Reboot again.
If you have any 3rd-party security or anti-malware software, disable the living daylights out of it for a moment.
Reinstall Virtualbox using right-click-Run-As-Administrator.

ok so I did what you said but I still get the same error.

But your Logs show there is still an active Norton security software:

I'll make an educated guess that the version mismatch between VirtualBox 6.1.36 and the VirtualBox Extension Pack (EP) 6.1.32 is the problem, since the crash happens during the USB 2.0 initialization. Please update the EP.

The disabling of AV would have only been needed during the installation, assuming it was done.

This is a big one to fix.
