windows 2008 64bit enterprise edition hangs..

[ssgam]

Hi All,

i've installed Windows 2008 R2 64 bit enterprise edition, build 7600
onto virtualbox 4.0.0.

the guest will hang at different times of the day, and i cannot
(actually don't know where to look for problems) find where
the problem is.

while looking at the "Event Viewer", it appears that before
the system hangs, there is a Kernel-General event logged,
indicating that the system time has been adjusted.

the most recent hang, occurred a few minutes after the
time was adjusted.

the previous hang, occurred right after the system time
was adjusted (within the same minute).

i had thought it may be due to virtualbox time mechanism,
but i have another windows guest (2003 64bit) on the
same virtualbox, which does not exhibit this problem.

(in fact, 2003 does not seem to report any time adjustments at all)..

our installations at different sites (same version of windows
2008 R2 64bit) do not have this problem, but they are
not running on virtualbox; they run directly on the HW.

has anybody experienced hangs on windows 2008,
whether or not it is due to time adjustments (i
understand it may not even be the adjustments,
the events seem to happen quite closely together)..

any advise and assistance very much appreciated,
thanks in advance,
sam
