Windows XP guest fails to boot with STOP 0x7F BSOD

[smoehle]

Windows XP SP2 (fully patched) guest on Windows XP SP2 (fully patched) host usually fails to boot with the BSOD:

STOP: 0x0000007F (0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

I often briefly see the graphical WindowsXP boot screen before the BSOD. About 1 in 6 attempts results in a successful boot. The presence or absence of the guest host additions seems to make no difference. Enabling or disabling VT-x/AMD-V makes no difference. Type of networking makes no difference. USB is disabled.

This happens with all the guests I have created, and although all were created under Windows XP, the guests work fine when run under Linux.
