I've also recently re-formatted In trying to fix this problem. Thanks to anyone who points me in the right direction. Guest: Windows 7 Pro SP1 圆4 (MSDN ISO), Latest guest additions/Windows Updates:Ĭode: Select all Expand view Collapse view Host: Windows 7 Pro SP1 圆4 (MSDN ISO), GA-EP45-UD3R F13f BIOS (Visualization Options enabled, SATA Set to AHCI), Intel Q9550, 8GB RAM, Nvidia Fermi Video, Atheros AR938x Wireless, Sound Blaster Xfi PCIe, All latest drivers/Windows Updates, VirtualBox 4.0.10. I've attached a log with the Guest running for about 2min one of the freezes occurred about 10 seconds before shutdown. I'm at a loss here, I can't find any open support tickets describing this problem.
After a few seconds Windows (the Guest Windows) will emit a Ding Sound and everything will sort of play catch-up (windows will appear and the clicks will finally register). During the freeze I can still move the mouse, and click on some things, but others are completely frozen (like if I try to right click on the desktop and get the right click context menu, it will half fade in and freeze). Its impossible for me to use my Windows 7 guest because every 5-70 seconds it will freeze up in a very strange way.
UPDATE: Fix is to use PIIX3 instead of ICH9.
