[SOLVED] Win7 guest crashes

Post by Suncatcher »

It happens when I start Viber on Windows 7 guest, then the below message is showed, and after that Guest machine switches to Aborted state.
It happens both in headless and normal modes.

That looks like a hardening issue caused by using unsigned drivers. Since the last thing mentioned in the log is OpenGL (because 3D acceleration is enabled) then IMHO that adds further weight to the idea.

Or, it could be straight up buggy OpenGL drivers.

So what should be my troubleshooting steps? OpenGL is built in Windows and I didn't reinstall smth recently. It appeared after recent VB release.

Well, you search for an OpenGL test app and see if it runs well on your host. If you can't run any OpenGL app then VirtualBox will obviously encounter the same problem.

You can search for driver updates for your Intel HD Graphics 530 chipset.

You could also just turn off 3D acceleration in the VM settings, and avoid Aero themes in the guest.

Correct. This was a driver issue. Solved.
