Running virtual box is causing a restart of the host system? - virtualbox

I am trying to use ns2 tool through virtual box. Every time I run the virtual box the host system is getting restarted.
How to resolve this issue?

You may firstly check for new updates on help menu. If still restarts; reinstall the program. Did you install x32 or x64 version for your computer which may x32 or x64?

Virtual machine crash out and not start in VirtualBox

I have a problem with Virtual Box, after double clicking it does not start and I do not know how to solve the problem ...
I was working without problem with the version VirtualBox-5.0.16-105871-Win in Windows 10, when I suddenly stopped working maybe after a windows update, I again ran the Virtual Box installer, the same version and it Click on repair, and nothing ... I do not have a restore point on the computer before the update: / ... I deleted the installed updates and nothing changed ...
I have downloaded and installed the latest version of VirtualBox (5.1.22) and the program starts but when running a virtual machine that I had previously installed it crash out and it does not load, the screen is black with the next white text:
boot0: GPT
boot0: done_
I have tried modified the configuration from my virtual machine but it is all like before when works correctly.
How I can solve it? Any answer would be welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Oracle_VM-error at startup

I am using Oracle vm with windows as host machine and linux on VM. I had everything working, but once i used 'power off' when it took time to start. Since i am not able to start the OS on VM. I am getting errors as below.
Error relaunching VirtualBox VM process: 5
Command line: '60eaff78-4bdd-042d-2e72-669728efd737-suplib-3rdchild --comment RedHat_Linux_64bit_4GB --startvm 42e4c558-83d4-431c-a971-71ca9e1f4112 --no-startvm-errormsgbox "--sup-hardening-log=C:\Users\bhargav.vijay.desai\VirtualBox VMs\RedHat_Linux_64bit_4GB\Logs\VBoxHardening.log"' (rc=-104)

I am able to see a file in snapshots folder which is large in size. (2016-08-16T05-57-16-295692800Z.sav). Have uploaded an image. I am on lookout for solutions.
Restart of the system helped me resolve the issue. Also the snapshot files (.sav extensions) are of no use in this case.
This ref https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=82277 fixed issue for me for VB version 5.2.x on Windows 10.
I had tried other approaches like installing earlier versions of VB but nothing else worked for me.
I had the same problem on a new HP Elitebook with Windows 10 preinstalled.
Install Virtualbox and import applience worked fine, and can be startet.
But after next restart of the System Virtualbox always shows an Error...
... supR3HardenedWinReSpawn what: 5 VERR_INVALID_NAME (-104) - Invalid (malformed) file/path name.
I tryed 4 Days to fix the Problem inclusive deactivate preinstalled hp client security, windows defender etc.
Nothing worked until I found the Link of the latest post.
I had to reinstall Virtualbox and deactivate the VBoxdrv sevice in the registry.
After every Windows start i need to start the service manualy or over shedule...
After that Virtualbox starts correctly!
I tested a lot. Windows seems to destroy the Virtualbox installation while driver was loading on startup.
If the error occures once, one has to reinstall Virtualbox and deactivate the service... deactivate after the Error has already showen dosent work.
I was struggling with this one on HP Elite Book for some time and I found solution here.
The solution is to go to
HP Sure Sense -> Settings -> Advanced Settings
and turn off Enhanced Thread Protection.
It's not my solution, but I hope it's good to have here for someone in the future.
a) Clear AppData/Local/Temp
b) Completely uninstall any VirtualBox currently installed
c) Restart the computer
d) Install the latest version of VirtualBox
e) After install completes do not restart the computer
f) Open the registry editor. Start > Run > regedit
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\VBoxDrv
Edit the key called Start. Change it's value from 1 to 3
g) Close the registry editor and restart your computer. After your computer restarts you should be able to use VirtualBox without any issues.

Unable to create Genymotion virtual device from Android studio on windows 10

I installed Genymotion on my windows 10 and unable to create a virtual device on Android studio. I got an error " Unable to start the virtual device. VirtualBox cannot start the virtual device. To find out the cause of the problem, start the virtual device from VirtualBox"enter image description here Please need your help.
What I did on my Windows 10 laptop is install VirtualBox separately (it was previously installed by Genymotion, but I hadn't used it in a year and I guess something happened)
Download it from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads and install it.
Go back to Genymotion and try to launch the emulator again. Now it'll work.
I had the same problem on windows 10,
and found that my virtual box is not completely installed or has been removed somehow
try to reinstall virtual box: download
tip: be careful that your genymotion's version to be matched with the virtual box which you're going to install.

I googled a lot but I was not able to find an anwser :/
Also tried to put Windows 7 on VMWare but that resulted in me getting the same error.
Before this I tried downloading the driver for the GPU I have but then I get this error, http://i.imgur.com/kMacwB8.png
Hope you guys can help me :)
You may need to enable 3D acceleration on VirtualBox. By default it is disabled.
The steps to enable:
Right click the Windows 7 VM in Virtual Box and click Settings.
Click the Display category.
Check Enable 3D Acceleration and increase Video Memory as needed.
Install drivers:
While the VM is running, click Devices menu and then Install Guest Additions
Click Run VBoxWindowsAdditions.exe in the popup and run through the installer.
See: http://www.howtogeek.com/124479/how-to-enable-3d-acceleration-and-use-windows-aero-in-virtualbox/ for extra information.
Note that the article states the 3D acceleration is experimental and should run older games, but possibly not newer games. The article was written in 2012, so I'm not sure what the current state is. You should be able to tell if it's enabled by whether or not the Aero interface is usable.

Problems out of my machine: how to debug outside a dev environment?

I'm developing an application in 3D in a win 7 64bits machine, in visual C++ 2008. All runs correctly. When I check this application in a clean machine in a VMWare virtual machine with XP 32bits (hardware 3D activated) or in a machine of a friend of mine, the application fails.
The behavior of the application is different (into the clean machine) depending of the compilation (debug or release) and if I compile with MD(d) or MT(d)
My question: it is possible to debug the application into the clean machine? Exists a central log like /var/log/message but in windows? How to check what dll are in use in my dev machine, in order to compare with the installed in the clean machine?
Thanks!!
If its on the same network you can you the remote debugger ! But you may first want to check if its not a 64bit app on a 32bit OS.
Make sure the bitness is correct and that the correct VC++ distributable is installed on the test machines.
If that doesn't help, then try this for fast debugging:
Grab the debugging toolkit from MS (http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/default.mspx)
Install it on your development machine.
Copy the installation folder to the machine you want to debug on.
Copy / Install your program to the machine, remember the *.PDB files.
Start WinDBG from the debugger folder and use the 'File->Open executable' command to start your app. WinDGB will break fast and you can debug from there.
If you want break points and such, look up the commands in the WinDBG help files.
You could try running your app under dependency walker (www.dependencywalker.com). If the problem is missing or incorrect dlls, dependency walker will show it up very quickly.
On XP you can use the built-in debugger, ntsd.exe. it's basically like windbg lite and requires no additional install.
