VBox keeps reboot OS

Post by dunicraig »

I have Ubuntu and I have virtual box installed with it running windows XP home. Its run fine for the last few days however yesterday it started rebooting by itself. XP loads up and then sits there frozen for a minute and then restarts and it just keeps doing this over and over again. Theres no error message or anything, also sometimes XP wont even load. I turn the machine on and it just sits there with a black screen. What is wrong?
