E_FAIL (0x80004005) Error on Boot

Post by cordump2001 »

Just did a reboot of my VB and now I'm getting the below error.

Result Code:
E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component:
SessionMachine
Interface:
ISession {c0447716-ff5a-4795-b57a-ecd5fffa18a4}

I don't have it set up to restore form previous state and I'm not seeing any errors in the log form what I can tell. Here are the last few lines. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It is extremely likely that the error message had more before the posted part, and I'm not sure what the posted snippet of log is supposed to show or why that particular part stood out.

Please post the whole error message if it happens again.

Also, start the guest from full normal shutdown, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the guest from within the guest OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the guest with the Power Off option set.

Right-click the guest in the main Virtualbox window's guest list, choose Show Log. Save the far left tab's log, zip it, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.
