Windows 7 hangs upon starting VM

Post by sergeybloom »

Hello,

My machine freezes (Windows 7 hangs entirely -- becomes unresponsive) when I attempt to start a virtual machine.

The VirtualBox installation went just fine.

I created a new virtual machine (the settings part inside VirtualBox application) without problems.

But as soon as I try to start (power on) the virtual machine I created, my computer hangs. I never got to the point of installing a guest OS.

The Vbox.log file has no errors or warnings in it.

I am running Windows 7 Professional 32 bit (purchased copy). The VirtualBox version is 3.0.10 build 54097.

Is this a known issue?

Thank you.

Please post the log and all guest setting. Include the amount of RAM this is installed in the Host.
