Hi all
Have been using Virtual Box for months but the latest version on my Windows 7 (64bit) host and the Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 guest silently crashes for no apparent reason when I go an get a cuppa or my host is idle.
I have checked all my power settings etc on both host and guest and can't work out what's going on and worringly it appears no one else has posted about this after I did a quick search so any ideas or are other experiencing this and just haven't posted?
If peope can point me to log files etc then I am happy to past bits of these to get to the bottom of this as everytime I go to check something on the guest it has disappeared again!
Many thanks in advance.

Suggest that you make sure that you do not have screen savers or power management enabled in the guest.
Also hibernate and sleep mode on the host has been known to cause this.

Yep my bad 
The power saving options in Ubuntu were causing this!
