Description
When I start the VM with the ISO for Win8.1 Build 9415 x64, the VM crashes almost immediately. Receive a Stop error message that resembles the following:
STOP: 0x000000C4 (parameter1, parameter2, parameter3, parameter4)
For comparison, VMware Player boots fine.

And, if you attempt to do an "interactive upgrade" from within an running Win 8 x64 VM, you'll get the following message:
You can't install Windows 8.1 Preview because your processor doesn't support CompareExchange128

The solution is here:
http://4sysops.com/forums/topic/windows-server-2012-r2-on-virtual-box-error-0x000000c4/
This is required for both Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1 VMs

I also have same problem. VBox 4.2.16 on Windows 7 Home Premium. I have attached the log file
comment:7 Changed 9 years ago by frank
AnuP, your Windows 8.1 ISO is 64-bit / x64, right? In that case, please use the Windows 8.1 / 64-bit OS type!

I also have this problem; trying to install Windows 8.1 x64 on VirtualBox in Ubuntu 12.04!
I have executed the setextradata command to no avail. help please?
comment:11 Changed 8 years ago by frank
ndiii012, VBox 4.1.12 is way too old.
comment:12 Changed 8 years ago by ndiii012
Thanks frank,
I am relatively new to Ubuntu and assumed the Store would give me the latest version. Will try the 4.3 version
comment:13 Changed 8 years ago by ndiii012

Please disregard the first attachment, and pardon my error.
I have this problem also: trying to install Windows 8 (64 bit) on VirtualBox Version 4.3.10 in Mac OS X Version 10.7.5
I have executed the setextradata command to no avail.
What are some other recommendations?
comment:15 Changed 8 years ago by frank
Brocko, wrong OS type. Use Windows 8.1.

CGOC, please attach a VBox.log file of such a VM session.
comment:18 Changed 7 years ago by CGOC
images attached CGOC - infront of both
here is what I've done fresh install from windows xp 64 bit From windows 8.1 64 bit from windows 2012 64 bit CD install and iso install all failed after I did the above mentioned fix.
I then thought to try it on my other virtual box and it installs there so I copied the VDI file and then tried to run it on this box and it fails aswell

CGOC, actually you should enable the NX bit in your Windows (execution prevention). Or in the BIOS. Please check both. At the moment, NX is disabled on your host and therefore VBox cannot enable it in the guest. The black screen of Windows is just a bad habit of Windows. It doesn't show the actual problem in an error message.

NX is what exactly? sorry

So it says I can't do hardware -based Data Execution prevention
I have an ibm system X 3650 with an Xeon E5345 quad processors.
comment:24 Changed 7 years ago by frank
According to the Intel specs your Xeon processor actually has the Execute Disable Bit.
comment:25 Changed 7 years ago by CGOC
so in my bios I have the intel VMware option enabled I don't see a nbit or anything like that option and my bios is up todate
Please attach a VBox.log file for such a VM session. Did you select the 64-bit Windows OS type?
