VirtualBox hard-reboots my PC
Posted: 29. Apr 2009, 13:12
Hi,
I installed VirtualBox a few weeks ago, but I've been having this problem. VirtualBox often reboots my computer, without any warning, not even a BSOD. I just hear a clicking sound from inside the box of the PC, and next thing the monitor is showing the initial BIOS welcome screens and booting my host OS.
This happens only if I have first reverted to a saved snapshot of the Vista guest, and then started the virtual machine. If I just power it off and then start the virtual machine, it doesn't happen.
My host os is XP with SP3. My guest os is Vista.
