Crashing Windows when shutting down/restarting

Hello,

Sometimes when I try to shut down or restart, Windows crashes and it restarts the computer with fan being very noisy for a few seconds. Then Windows starts to boot and I get that "Windows has recovered..." thing.

Anyway, checking the crash dump files with "WhoCrashed" I get this info:

Code: Select all

Crash dump directory: C:\Windows\Minidump

Crash dumps are enabled on your computer.

On Wed 12-Aug-15 23:35:15 GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\081315-7675-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: vboxnetflt.sys (0xFFFFF88005C3AC5E) 
Bugcheck code: 0xD1 (0x0, 0x2, 0x1, 0xFFFFF88005C3AC5E)
Error: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
file path: C:\Windows\system32\drivers\vboxnetflt.sys
product: Oracle VM VirtualBox
company: Oracle Corporation
description: VirtualBox Bridged Networking Driver
Bug check description: This indicates that a kernel-mode driver attempted to access pageable memory at a process IRQL that was too high.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem. 
A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: vboxnetflt.sys (VirtualBox Bridged Networking Driver, Oracle Corporation). 
Google query: Oracle Corporation DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
It happened 3 times so far, and on all of them I get the same report
Can anyone help?

I'm on Windows 7 64 bit and the guest OS is Ubuntu 64 bit, and it's running in the background using the VBoxHeadlessTray app.
My VirtualBox version is the latest (4.3). I'm not sure but I think all 3 crashes happened after the last update, which was like 2 weeks ago
