Virtualization :: Windows 8 Hangs In VirtualBox?

Apr 30, 2013

Sometimes Windows 8 just hangs after I look around and change some of the DVD related settings in VirtualBox. My host system is ubuntu and the guest is Windows 8.

When it hangs it is usually showing the Windows 7 desktop because I am always in that mode. I cursor to the lower left to try to the the mini-tiles but no matter what I do with the cursor, the mini-tiles do not appear. In fact, nothing works. I cannot launch any desktop applications.

In the past I solved this by simply having VirtualBox send the shutdown power-off signal. Windows is ignoring the shutdown signal. Is there a Windows-centric way to fix this problem so that I can do a Windows-centric shutdown in the normal fashion or otherwise resolve or prevent this problem?

Virtualization :: Oracle VirtualBox On Windows 8

Feb 5, 2013

VirtualBox running on windows 8 pro 64bit. I first installed it 2 weeks ago and I had no problems.

At the weekend I decided to set up my virtual machines from my Vista install and some of the older ones didn't work so I decided to uninstall and reinstall VirtualBox.

I checked that the version I had was still the latest version and reinstalled it.

Last night I had problems with my computer hanging at the windows 8 desktop screen for 2-5 minutes before I could open Internet explorer straight after boot up. This was with VirtualBox not running so I presume it's one of the drivers causing the problem.

It seems strange that it was ok until I reinstalled it.

I'm not sure weather to reinstall it again or wait for another update.

Virtualization :: Windows 8.1 And VirtualBox Networking

Jun 27, 2013

After installing the W 8.1 Preview, seems the VirtualBox networking is out.

This is using the latest VBox 4.2.14.

Re-installing VirtualBox solves it but duplicate driver entries still remain, one being the old one.

Virtualization :: Upgrading From 8 To 8.1 Inside VirtualBox

Nov 26, 2013

I'd like to upgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 Pro. This will be run as a guest on VirtualBox 4.3.2 (the newest as of November 2013) on Ubuntu 12.04 (April 2012) with weekly updates.

In Windows Store, an attempt to upgrade fails because, it indicates that Windows 8.1 is "not supported by your CPU". This is a doubtful explanation because it runs Windows 8 fine. The CPU is an Intel i7 - 2670 QM that was released in Q4 2011 in a unit that retailed in June 2012. VirtualBox has WDDM and 3D acceleration since at least VirtualBox 4.1 which was released more than a year ago. I run with VirtualBox's display 2D acceleration ON, and previously with 3D acceleration OFF because I've had problems. However, 3D acceleration is presently ON. Regardless, Windows 8.1 will not install either way.

This is what Microsoft indicates under "more information" about Win 8.1.

Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with support for PAE, NX, and SSE2 (more info)RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit)Hard disk space: 16 GB (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver

I note that Windows 8 also requires PAE, NX, and SSE2 so that should not be the problem. I have allocated 4 GB RAM and about 500 GB disk, which are both more than adequate.

Edit: I use a 64 bit machine with 64 bit Linux and 64 bit Windows. Edit: Although I tried to install Windows 8.1 with 3D acceleration ON, I generally keep it OFF because it can result in a crash of my .NET application that uses a XAML window. It's not a bug that I care enough about to fix.

How do I fix this Windows 8.1 installation problem?

Virtualization :: VirtualBox - Cannot Install Win 8.1 Pro - Error 0x000000C4

Jul 24, 2014

Host OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on SSD system disk. PC Specs: Intel Core i7 3770K on ASRock Z77 OC Formula with 16GB DDR3, GTX470 VirtualBox version: 4.3.12 r93733 with Extension Pack 4.3.12 r93733.

I've had a Windows 8.1 Pro x64 VM running on VBox 4.3 for a few days now with no issues at all.

However, this morning, the VM refused to boot saying VT-x was not enabled.

I checked via the VM settings but the whole "Acceleration" pane was disabled and not accessible. I was not able to resolve the issue even after rebooting my PC and explicitly enabling Intel Virtualization in the PC BIOS (it was on AUTO before - I set it to ENABLE).

I have since several times removed the VM completely and attempted to reinstall.

Every time, the VM hangs on the Windows 8 logo screen on install and then crashes with the Error 0x000000C4.

As found on VirtualBox community forums and on other sites, I have tried the SETEXTRADATA command via command prompt running as administrator, and have confirmed that the .vbox file has been changed and the string ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal/CPUM/CMPXCHG16B" value="1" appended in the <ExtraData> section.

However the VM still refuses to boot or reinstall. I have Ubuntu, Fedora and ZorinOS VM's all working perfectly.

The only change to my system that took place in the interim was that I installed Comodo Free Firewall last night. Seeing the problems I have been having with the VM since this morning, I uninstalled Comodo and rebooted thinking it might have something to do with my problems, but still no joy.

I am also uploading my .VBOX files before and after to show the changes that have been made by the SETEXTRADATA command.

Windows 8.1 - Screen Goes Dark Blue?

Oct 25, 2013

I recently changed to windows 8, there's a problem with my graphic card (I think). I play the lord of the rings online, and when I try to launch it, as soon as it goes into full screen, the whole screen gets dark bluish (not BSOD). When thah happens the screen stays that way even if I close lotro and the only way it goes back to normal is by rebooting.

Here's a screenshot with my system specs: [url].....

P.S. I have tried updating my video card driver, it says it's up to date... the version is WDDM v1.1

After Choose Windows 8 It Goes To Blue Recovery Screen

Jan 16, 2013

Dual booting Win 7 and Win 8. Win 7 is C: Primary installed first, Win 8 is installed to a primary partition (25GB). I get the blue recovery screen after starting Win 8 from bootloader menu. Win 7 starts fine. I have installed Win 8 on another computer using the same flash so I know the flash is good. First I defraged and cleaned out C: then created the partition. I have installed it on the computer before (preview edition) then removed it(formated D: partition), this is the RTM 9200 build. Did I mention that on the other computer when installed it asked for Key which I temporarily skipped, on this computer however when installed it did not ask for the key. Before the install I ran bootrec /fixmbr, /fixboot and also /rebuildbcd from Win 7 install disk.

I don't think it's a problem with the Win 7 boot loader. My guess is some registry value or other setting or file in Win 7 is preventing normal startup of Win 8. I do believe it's not hardware related. Any thoughts on what could cause this? Could it be the Win 8 bootloader now causing problems and if so how would I fix this issue? Do I need to fix bootloader in Win 8 and should I run the bootrec cmd's from the Win 8 flash this time? Not sure which has taking over now! I have searched in these forums and online for a couple of day's to no avail though references have been made that the Win 8 bootloader has now taken over, if so were does the now functioning bootloader reside - C: or D: (partition) and which one is it Win 7 or Win 8 loader?

Debugging :: Windows 8.1 Blue Screen - Multiple Errors

Jan 30, 2014

Since Yesterday I've gotten the Window's 8 Blue screen saying the Error "MULTIPLE_IRP_COMPLETE REQUESTS" now i got this multiple times yesterday, even got the "BAD_POOL_HEADER" Searched around and found out this was probably a Driver Error and updated my Drivers. Only my Video Card needed an update and after Installing the latest driver and restarting my Computer everything seemed fixed. But today i got the same IRP Error again.

I have an Busted up USB port and thought that maybe the Driver was confused about it and made the error so i Deactivated the specific driver to that Port, But after getting the same IRP error and restarted the comp again i got the "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" error at startup

Now my I comp started normally and I'm waiting for the next Error so I don't know what do to. I found out that there's some error Logs (C:/windows/minidump) but I don't know a program that'll make them readable.

Debugging :: Samsung EVO 840 120GB SSD - Windows 8.1 Freezes And Blue Screen

Nov 14, 2013

I recently bought a Samsung EVO 840 120 gb SSD and did a clean install of Windows 8.1 Pro on it. Also formatted my other HDD's. And after that I started to experience at random times the complete freeze of windows and sometimes blue screen of death with "clock watchdog timeout" message. They usually happens when I unpacking an archive, during file copy, downloading big files, installing mods in nexus mod manager for skyrim or sometimes just in very random events. I noticed that usually when this happens hdd activity led on my pc case blinks continuously. When this freeze or BSOD happens I need to manually reset my computer.

(Also most of the archives I download from the internet I get crc errors for most when I try to unpack them, so I have redownload it again :/)

My system:
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro
CPU: AMD Bulldozer FX 8150 Eight core Black Edition
CPU Cooling: Hydro Series H60 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard: GA-970A-D3 (Rev. 1.0)
Memory: hiper blue 8 GB DDR 3
Graphics Card: Gigabyte AMD HD 6970 2 GB
PSU: Gigabyte 650 W
Hard Drives:
-Samsung EVO 840 SSD 120 GB (OS)
-Samsung HDD 500 GB
-WD HDD 2 TB

Nothing is overclocked. Everything has the latest drivers. Bios is updated to the latest.

I did CPU stress test got no errors.
I did GPU stress test got no errors.
I did RAM test got no errors.

Dell :: Page Fault Error In Windows 8 / Restarting With Blue Screen

Dec 29, 2012

I'm experiencing a problem after installing Windows 8 on Dell Inspiron N7110.

When I leave my laptop on for a while, it restarts because of a blue screen with the error: 0x00000050; PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA

It only happens when the laptop isn't used but is still on. When I'm working on it this error doesn't occur.

I checked RAM and HDD with Dell Support Center PC Checkup (even RAM stress test) and it shows no errors. Besides the HDD is new, as my old one broke and Dell replaced it.

I updated all my drivers from Dell's Website, so they all supported by windows 8.

Acer Iconia W510 PC Tablet / Windows 8 - Blue Screen Appearing For No Reason?

Mar 6, 2014

I have an Acer Iconia W510 PC Tablet and I am talking about this error right here. [URL] ....

Okay, so this started appearing and I got a little worried. Each time it happens, I go through a restart and am just fine. So, I started to think about why it appeared. Then it happened more often. I'd say it pops up for no apparent reason every couple days, sometimes more frequent.

Every day, I do the following:

- Run Disk Cleanup
- Run Defrag
- Do a Manual Full System Scan with Norton Antivirus

I do all of these things and try to never download shady files, but it happens all the time. Sometimes it will be when I'm talking to someone on Skype (Text, not Video), or in an app like One Note or OK Cupid Touch.

It happens so frequently that I feel like there is something I'm missing.
