XP OS closing down after a couple of hours in Ubuntu

Hiya.

I use Ubuntu 7.10 and installed Virtualbox within that. I use an XP Pro OS and have it up and running.

The only problem I am encountering is if I have the XP Pro running in Virtualbox, after say a couple of hours, XP just closes and on the Virtualbox OSE, it says 'Abort'.

I then have to start XP again in VB until another couple of hours before the same happens.

Can VB run continuously or does it shut down after a few hours.

Thanks.

Ps I'm a novice at this so if you need more info, let me know and where I can find it.

Thanks.

Hi,
just a guess, but could it be some kind of power-saving feature?
are you using the XP in the time before it shuts down?
