Virtual Box 4.2 crash

[Skay]

Just installed Virtual Box 4.2 on a windows 7 64 bit professional computer. I am trying to run Ubuntu and the when I start the VM it crashes. I have attached the log file. It is a new install on a brand new machine.

Any thoughts on what might be causing this?

[Perryg]

Was the guest shut down (not in saved state)?
Is the abort icon active in the main manager?

[Skay]

The VM machine crashes on startup. Basically we created a new Uduntu VM configure it, start it and it crashes almost immediately.
(Computer has a Intel 3470 processor with 8GB of memory, so I don't think there should be an resource issue)

VirtualBox VM 4.2.10 r84104 win.amd64 (Mar 15 2013 19:08:54) release log
00:00:00.578279 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack (Version: 4.2.12 r84980; VRDE Module: VBoxVRDP)

Let's start with this. You have a mismatch with the Extpack and the version of VBox. Either upgrade to version 4.2.12 or download the 4.2.10 Extpack

I upgraded to Virtualbox version 4.2.12 and ensure Extension pack is 4.2.12 as well. Still crashing immedately

Here are the newly generated logs.

Did you install the XP guest or did you get it from someone? Plus the first topic said Ubuntu guest not Windows. It would help if we don't jump around until the cause is located.

Is the guest 32 or 64 bit?

Also

From the hosts terminal/command window type VBoxManage showvminfo <VM Name> --details and post here. Replace <VM Name> with the actual name of the VM. Use " " if the name has a space in it.

Note if the host is Windows you need to be in the directory that has VBoxManage.exe for the command to work.

[Skay]

I apologize for including the Windows VM log files.

The host system is 64-bit and the Guest VM is a 32-bit

Here are the Ubuntu VM log files. This time it started reading the Ubuntu live CD to begin the installation but crashes about 5 seconds later nonetheless.

The host system is Windows so that particular command line syntax is not taking: "VBoxManage is not recognized as an internal command"

[Perryg]

So this log is from where you started and were running the live CD?

If you read the last line I say that for this to work you must be in the folder/directory that actually has VBoxManage for the command to work.

What is the output of

vboxmanage list vms

Try this then (note that the case must be respected!)

There is something missing to the story here. You said You had just installed VirtualBox and can not get the guest to work. But you actually have 4 guests listed as being registered. One of them you can not use legally.

All indications are that these guests were actually created on a different system, or your install is different than what the logs and now the settings suggest. If you want to get to the bottom of this you are going to need to explain exactly what you had/have and don't leave anything out. Otherwise I don't think you will be able to solve this (I know I won't)

This is a "new" build machine I've just recently put together. MSI motherboard, Intel i5-3470 processor, etc. I initially started from scratch, meaning I just installed VirtualBox, downloaded a copy of Ubuntu 32-bit, burned to a CD and created a new virtual machine. This is the Ubuntu VM.

I cannot seem to get past the point of VirtualBox crashing immediately after launching the VM.

The other 3 VM's you see were from a different computer and I just added them this afternoon. Thought I'd add these additional VM's, known to work from a different machine, and try to boot the guest OS but the same issue occurs. Each of these VM's crash immediately after starting.
