* Whether you have installed Guest Additions and/or Host Extensions (this solves 90% of the problems we see) * Whether you have enabled VT-x/AMD-V (applicable to all hosts running 6.1 and above) and disabled HyperV (applicable to Windows 10 Hosts) * The version of VirtualBox you are using
I can create a working 32-bit guest VM (Windows or Linux) HOWEVER when I enable "VT-x/AMD-V" and/or "Nested Paging" it causes a BSOD, freeze or instant full reboot at the very early stages of starting the 32-bit VM.This is just a friendly reminder in case you missed it. When I try to create 64-bit guest VM (Windows or Linux) Virtual Box forces me to enable "VT-x/AMD-V" which causes my laptop to either BSOD, freeze or instant full reboot at the very early stages of installing Windows 7 or Ubuntu. I have just set-up and installed a "Ubuntu Desktop 32-bit" VM with "VT-x/AMD-V" and "Nested Paging" disabled and it works. John MiniDumpWithATIreinstalledAndWin.zipįrom the last working 32-bit VM (see previous comment), made the following changes one by one.Įnabled USB support - worked (without using any USB devices)Įnabled "VT-x/AMD-V" & disabled "Nested Paging" - computer did a full reboot, no screen freeze or BSODĭisabled "VT-x/AMD-V" & enabled "Nested Paging" - computer did a full reboot, no screen freeze or BSOD I've included minidumps again but I'm not sure which is which at this stage, I don t think there is a minidump/bluescreen (screen just froze) for when there was no display adapter installed.
I also tried removing ATI again and then choosing "Upgrade driver software" on the "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" left in "Display adapters" in the Device manager.
I tried them separately, with the Window7圆4 VM and same result. Note: I did choose "Windows 7 64-bit" and still brought me to Vista drivers. I downloaded both of the drivers from here: Just as a test, tried to start a "Window7圆4 VM" before installing the ATI drivers again and same result - freeze on loading windows from install DVD. I completely removed the ATI driver & software using the "ATI Install Manager" (in "Programs and Features") and I also uninstalled the "ATI Radeon X1200" driver that was still there after the uninstall procedure, In the meantime I'm going to try Microsoft's Virtual PC with an Ubuntu guest, no holding out much hope though. I briefly tried VMware server using "bridged" networking but that didn't work because the Ubuntu install couldn't find the DHCP server associated with my mobile broadband (maybe the mobile brand operator didn't allow this) or the DHCP with my next door neighbour's WiFi -). Ideally, I am looking for a solution that either fixes my VirtualBox problem OR. ? Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. I created a "Ubuntu Linux 64 bit" virtual machine using the wizard defaults, started the virtual machine with an official Ubuntu 9.10 Server Edition DVD in my drive, I get to select the language but shortly after that I get the blue screen of death:Ī problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.Ī clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval. "VirtualBox 3.1.6 for Windows hosts x86/amd64" ( ) did install successfully. XenServer, VMware ESXi) at this stage because I want to have wipe my whole disk. I did decide to go with VirtualBox as a virtualization solution because it uses some hardware acceleration and I don't want a solution that installs underneath Windows 7 (i.e. You should be able view my hardware/driver set-up using. On a personal laptop, I am running Window 7 64-bit Ultimate on my Dell Inspiron 1721 AMD Turion 圆4. This is related to a recent question that I asked earlier.
