Guest OS: Windows 2012 SE freezes after logon

Post by Alex-PB »

Hello,

I'm using the current realease of Oracle VirtualBox Software: 4.3.14.
Oracle VM VirtualBox
Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack

Guest OS : Windows 2012 Server Standard Edition (W2k12 SE) fresh installation

Issue
=====
A few seconds after logging on to the guest OS the VM just freezes (hangs) without an error message.
This issue occurs constantly after I have installed the virtualbox guest additions.

Additional information
=====================
This W2k12 SE guest VM runs fine if I start it in Safe Mode with networking

Attached the appropriate VBox.log

Would appreciate any help.

Best Regards
Alex

I found a couple of maybe interesting titbit in your logs (which may very well be totally irrelevant):

00:00:06.301950 Audio: Trying driver 'dsound'.
00:00:06.404979 DSound: Could not initialize DirectSound
00:00:06.405080 Audio: Initialization of driver 'dsound' failed, trying 'dsound'.
00:00:06.405245 DSound: Could not initialize DirectSound
00:00:06.405276 Audio: Initialization of driver 'dsound' failed, trying 'null'.

00:00:52.008512 Guest Log: VBoxMP::VBoxMpCrCtlConInit: VBoxMpCrCtlConConnectHgcm failed with rc(0), 3D not supported!
00:00:52.008612 Guest Log: VBoxMP::DriverEntry: 3D is NOT supported by the host, falling back to display-only mode..

See if you change the sound options and/or disable 3D acceleration in the VM settings changes things. Just a shot in the dark...
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

Hi socratis,

The 3D option was (is) not active.
Disabled the sound device within the VM configuration, but the system still freezes... :(

Best Regards
