virtual host keeps getting aborted

Post by felix822 »

This is what I have:

OS - OS X 10.8
VirtualBox - 4.1.18

When I run my only virtual machine (Windows 2000), after a while it keeps aborting and I have to restart it. Any help is appreciated.

Post the guests log file (as an attachment)
See Online Users Manual for the location of the file.

Log does not show an abort. Is this the newest log after an abort?

This doesn't show an abort either. Look in the guests power management and make sure it is set to always on and that turn off monitor and hard drives are set to never and see if that helps.

Do you see a BSOD on the guest at any time? Also the event viewer may point to the problem.

I can't find those options, where are they located? And no, no BSOD yet. Thanks for your help.

I made those changes; it was fine for a few days, but keeps aborting again today. I'm attaching the log file, hopefully it's the newest one. Thanks for your help.

Log does not show a reason that I can see. It is as if you just pulled the plug. Nothing recorded after a minute 50 seconds in.

You probably should post a ticket at bugtracker and provide the log file (as an attachment) and anything else like event logs from the guest.
