This is the error I'm getting while trying to save the state for a VM:

Code: Select all

Failed to save the state of the virtual machine Windows 8.

Failed to save the machine state to 'D:\Virtual Machines\Windows 8\Snapshots\2014-12-03T10-00-31-926519700Z.sav' (VERR_INTERNAL_ERROR).

Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: SessionMachine

The host:
Core i7 4770K (VT features all enabled & working)
Windows 7 x64, fully up-to-date
VirtualBox 4.3.20
Available memory & disk space is plentiful

The guest:

Assigned 4 CPU's, 4GB memory, VT-x, nested paging, PAE/NX.

The error is reprodicuble, but only for this guest.

Current workaround: shut down the guest and don't use this feature.
