Post the guests log file ( as an attachment ). Right click on the guest in the Main Manager then click show log. Save and post as an attachment. Compress if it is too large to post.

Most likely you're trying to pass through a USB 3.0 device to a VM which doesn't support USB 3.0. Either plug the device into a USB2-only port/hub or add USB 3.0 support to the VM.
