Cent OS 6 and Win7 Guest

Post by silencer »

Hello I'm having a weird problem with my Windows 7 guest on my Cent OS machine. All of my Windows 7 guest get physical memory dumps after a while of use on my cent OS machine. I'm running virtual box Version 5.0.20 r106931.

Attached is the log file for one of my Windows 7 guest.

I don't know what "get physical memory dumps" means. The log doesn't show any crash, it shows you struggling to boot a VM, e.g. the first error is "no bootable medium found". Thereafter it shows an ISO being attached, so presumably I'm looking at attempts to install as OS, but I never see signs of success. I see no sign of a crash and minidump.

I suggest that you install the extension pack on this host, or disable USB support altogether in the VM settings.

Personally I would also turn off Hyper-v API support in the VM settings.

I would increase the graphics RAM to the VM: your host has plenty RAM, you can afford to give 64MB to the VM.

Where did your Win7 ISO come from?

The every windows virtual machine that I created kept on giving me the blue screen of death and the message on the BSOD was that the system was doing a physical memory dump.I was also having problems with my Cent OS server restarting for no reason. I ended up figuring out that one of my RAM sticks was bad.
