MCE on Host while installing guest

Hello everyone,

I have just changed to a new Laptop which runs Win10 Pro N. I want to continue to use my VMs on the system so I tried to install the latest version of VirtualBox 5. The setup did fail first but without installing (Python Support and) Host Only and Bridged Network I was able to get Virtualbox to setup on my machine.

However, now I am trying to init a fresh VM with an Ubuntu Mate 15.04 guest system. The created VM (2 GB RAM, 8 GB HDD, VDI, NAT) boots up and loads the setup dialog of Ubuntu. I can use keyboard and mouse and can configure the setup. However, as soon as I start the setup process the guest system does not do much visible things for a while. Afterwards my HOST is showing a blue screen of death denoting a MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION. This is reproducible.

To be honest this is also happening with VMWare Workstation / Player which I tried after seeing errors with VBox.

I am pretty lost searching the internet or this forum for a solution as I got no concrete idea what I am searching for. It would be great if someone on the forum could help me out.

Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards

The host is 64bit with 32 GB of RAM available, the guest is 64bit with 2 GB of RAM assigned.
I have not installed the guest additions obviously.
The Virtualbox version is the latest stable release as of yesterday - 5.0.6.r103037.

I can attach a VBoxSVC.log as this is the only one I found.

The service log is not useful.

Please post a VM log file. With the VM fully shut down, right click and "Show Log" in the GUI, save "VBox.log" (ONLY) to a zip, and attach the zip here.

No need for logs, except to provide the CPU model. Please see https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/14641

Thank you very much for digging this out. Indeed I got am i7 5700HQ which is affected by the problem. So obviously I got other problems besides Virtualbox not running.
