I just upgraded to a newer machine, and copied my vbox files over.

New host is as old host, Fedora 25. Guest is Windows 10.

A few moments after starting the guest, the entire host hangs and I have to manually reboot.

What can I do?

The new machine is Inspiron Desktop 3668.

The information you provided, while perhaps great if I was a Dell service engineer, is not very useful for diagnosing a VM problem. What we need is the VM log. With the VM fully shut down, right click it in GUI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (ONLY) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.

Try disabling secure boot in the host bios.

I did. I wasn't able to even boot until I did that.

I also see a lot of OpenGL issues. You might try to install the nVidia drivers instead of the open source ( nouveau ) drivers on the host.
