i think i know what's going on, probably cpu is the cause--i started a project in visual studio on guest,and cpu reached to 100%, about 1 minute later, vm crashed.
but here i attached the log again let me know if you can see it.

went to system setting, found there was only 1 cpu allocated to my windows 10 guest, obviously that's not good enough for visual studio, so boosted to 4 cores, and it has been up and running for a while, no sign to crash.
Thanks.

What you sent me was not the VBox.log, it was the crash log. I won't be able to know if assigning 4 cores is correct or not (most probably not).

If you want to see for yourself, open the VBox.log and search for "Physical host cores". Then reduce the CPUs assigned to the VM by 1.

You are right, it's crash log. I cleared the log, reconfigure VM to 1 core. now running VS project, will see. Thanks.
