Windows Guest Stops Responding Once a Day

Post by Lobotuerk »

Host: Windows 7 64 Bits Ultimate, Vbox: 5.1.6 r110634 (Qt5.5.1), NAT Guest: Windows 7 64 Ultimate

I use Vbox for keeping a Windows guest with some automation applications, Like answering mails and filling surveys. The problem is that every once in 1 or 2 days, the Guest Windows just stops (Not Responding) and i have to close it, open it again and load all the apps. If any log file is needed, please tell me, im new on the forum. Thks in advance for reading



Edit*: Random thing I discovered, the little Previsualization window inside the Vbox Admin keeps going, so i guess is a host problem and the guest is actualy not frozen?

If it freezes again, do not re-open it immediately, but right-click on the VM in VirtualBox Manager, select Show Log, zip it (just the first one) and attach it to your response. See the "Upload attachment" at the bottom of the form.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

I can't say that I see anything out of the ordinary on the log.
How's your memory on the host side when you see the freeze?

I'd be more interested in knowing if automatic updates are enabled on either or both, along with more details about the hang: e.g. is it really everything, or just tasks that are waiting on I/O.

Today it froze again, hope this log shows something else. About the task, the cpu moves between 49 - 50 and the memory is frozen. The guest window just shows an image of anything it was doing the time it froze
