Hey Janny,
  • When you say "shut down" do you mean "aborted"?
  • What were you doing when that happened?
  • Why do you have two (2) network adapters, both set to NAT?
  • Why do you have two (2) serial ports enabled?
  • Does the crash happen even if you're not full screen?
  • Are you always resuming from a saved state? It's a good idea to shut the VM down from time to time.
PS. For future reference you should ZIP your logs. It helps save a (virtual) tree or two...

Thanks for the respond, abort is what I meant....I am not doing pretty much just surfing the internet and I always resume from saved state.

do I need to enable only one NAT?.

Surfing the net can mean from... to... Please be specific: Text-only? Videos? Web-gl? Javascript? Games? Flash?

No, you don't need two NAT adapters, disable the second one.

And please answer the rest of the questions...

I don't play games on my laptop, I only user browsers like Opera, Chrome and Mozila Firefox. Sometimes I only have one browser open and it still shut down unexpected.

So, if you right-click on that file, and select "Compress", what do you think it's going to happen? ;)
And I asked you a lot more questions in the previous posts. Please, read them again and try to answer me. And if you can add something more that can help someone that's *not* sitting in front of your computer, that would be even better...

So, your host crashes? Your OSX crashes?
