"A critical error" on Windows 10 x64, VirtualBox 6.1.6

[Sophia-IT]

Hi everyone!

I'm getting some unknown error message on VirtualBox 6.1.6 on Windows 10 x64.

My laptop has 8GB of RAM, and gave the virtual memory (page file) 32GB (I don't think it's the problem, but who knows).

I look at the log files, and found no clear error... any idea where to start even?

Thank you!

unknown error message

Virtualbox is usually quite clear on the error message, though what it means can be hard to determine. You'll need to be more explicit with what Virtualbox says in the error message box.

Your guest "guru-meditated". The log says the guru meditated over a "Triple Fault", which means the guest tried something that Virtualbox really did not understand.

The guru meditated a few seconds after the guest starts the install ISO:

gave the virtual memory (page file) 32GB

I'm not certain there is any Virtualbox setting to set the guest's page file to any value. Perhaps you mean the guest's virtual drive?

You're a bit ahead of the times, apparently, which is OK:

VirtualBox 6.1.6

VirtualBox VM 6.1.12

But the guest wants too much memory:

00:00:03.136892 Host RAM: 7069MB (6.9GB) total, 3070MB (2.9GB) available
00:00:03.504840 RamSize (in the guest) = 0x0000000100000000 (4 294 967 296, 4 096 MB, 4.0 GB)

Shut down host programs, log off & on again, try to clear more host memory, or you'll have to reduce guest memory.

Thank you so much!
