Virtualbox 4.2.12 stop responding on a Windows 8 64 bits

[fab]

Hi all,

I am having an issue regarding Virtualbox 4.2.12 and Windows 8. Running Oracle Enterprise Linux, as a guest, the VM suddenly stops responding. The last few lines of the VB log can be seen below

I searched for a new VirtualBox update and a Windows update, but my system is fully updated. This leaves me with a disturbing thougth: What can i do now?

Any help/suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for your attention.

Here is the log (attached) of the vm

VirtualBox VM 4.2.12 r84980 win.amd64 (Apr 12 2013 11:35:06) release log
00:00:19.663512 Guest Additions information report: Version 4.2.0 r80737 '4.2.0'

The VM seems to stop at the guest additions manipulation, and your guest addtions are not up to date. I would boot into single user mode and first update them to match your version.

You see... i've tested another VM, reinstalling the guest addons, but after a while the VW stop responding. This test was done with another VM, so i think the problem might be in the VirtualBox itself. Do you think reinstalling the VirtualBox can help to solve the issue?

I've attached the log of the vm with the guest addons up-to-date

Thanks for your attention.

I would try turning off 3D acceleration.

You really don't want to turn 3D off. This will force software acceleration for the guests graphics and the CPU will be hammered to the tune of 30% overhead.
I see you have an nVidia graphics adapter on the host and that you are in fact receiving OpenGL errors in the guest log.
You have two things to try but the real fix is in the coming maintenance release of VirtualBox.

1) try to revert to version 4.1.10
2) Install a test build ( I don't have the link yet it was available on bugtracker for a while )

Personally I would wait since the release should be out soon.
