virtualbox.org

Hi, I have a quite fresh install of a Windows Xp install which is as a guest os in a Windows 8.1 virtualbox host. A few times the computer has just hanged and it doesn't respond anymore. After that when I try to start the virtual machine it gives me a "Guru meditation warning" and says that a critical error has occured. There are two usb-serial converters attached to the system if that makes any difference. The system has also crashed like this with one completely different usb-rs232 converter.

The log file is here: pastebin . com/diDJ9Lwu

Can anyone help me? Is the laptop (HP 255 G3) a problem? XP runs just fine when it runs normally.

Zip up the log file and attach it to the thread, do not post if offsite please.

You're reaching the amount of free memory on your host which cause VBox to pause/crash. 1024MB + 24 MB + virtualization overhead > 1226MB
