I used to be able to run Windows 7 in Virtualbox on my Mac, but lately whenever I run it I get a blue screen, it reboots, and then it tries to repair itself. Any ideas?

Turn off vt-x.

I unchecked Enable VT-x/AMD-V and the same thing happens. I have an early 2008 Macbook, if that helps.

What other options are still enabled? turn them all off, also check the submenu's for the Guest for their settings.

General
-->Advanced-->Shared clipboard is disabled, everything else is unchecked
System
-->Motherboard-->512MB base memory, Hard disk is checked under boot order, everything else is unchecked
-->Processor-->1 CPU, Extended features is unchecked

Disable usb, audio, shared folders.

Didn't work.
I've booted into Windows 7 and it's running normally. I have Boot Camp version 3.1 installed, if that matters. I remember having a previous version and updating it with the install disk. I don't know if the problem started then, but it's possible.

I run with IDE Controller, type PIIX4

Tried it, didn't work.

3.2.6 on mac os - win7 64bit bluescreen startup error

fyi (i am not programmer but) i was able to stop this ERROR by changing the harddisk controller back to IDE instead of what appears to be revised default "SATA" when you set up a new win 7 64bit machine in this version. WORKS with all the other (applicable) acceleration, etc settings re-enabled.
