VirtualBox crash

[tnewhook]

For the last several times I've run virtualBox, the client crashes within a few minutes.The error is: "A critical error has occurred while running the virtual machine, and the machine execution has been stopped" I have no idea what to look for in the log file, but I'm hoping someone here will have an idea. The nearest I can guess is that it's a memory error, but I really have no clue. Thanks for the help.

here's the relevant info:
virtualBox 4.2.0
host: win7
guest: ubuntu 12
The log file is available at: pastebin. mozilla. org / 1869959

I have also encountered errors in Virtual Box causing it to crash (2X).
I was running CLC Genomics workbench 5.5.1 on a BioLinux 6.0 (based on Ubuntu 10.04), and I was downloading the human genome BLAST database (build 37 - 6097MB)
I use VBox 4.1.22 on a Win7 Pro (64bit)
My machine specs:
Dell Precision T7500, 0M1GJ6 motherboard, Intel Xeon L5640 (2.27GHz) 4core (X2) with 48GB RAM

This was the error generated (Windows) upon crash, I also attached two logs from VBox that might be informative on the machine state during the crash.

ADDITIONAL:
I also had a BSOD crash on my host machine a few days ago which seems to have been caused by VBox.
Here is the error report from that incident

Code: Select all

A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage
to your computer.

The problem seems to be caused by the following file: VBoxDrv.sys

DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE

If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen,
restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow
these steps:

Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed.
If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer
for any Windows updates you might need.

If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware
or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.
If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart
your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then
select Safe Mode.
