can not start the vm and get the error "VCPU0: Guru Meditation 1155 (VINF_EM_TRIPLE_FAULT)"

[shzhang]

Hi,

I created a centos 7.4 virtual machine. After creating, it works ok under virtual box. However it randomly can not start and the log complains below error: VCPU0: Guru Meditation 1155 (VINF_EM_TRIPLE_FAULT)

Attached please find the log file and the screenshot image.

Thanks, Shifeng

Is this a Vagrant based VM? Because they have ​their own support channels.

Yes it's Vagrant, that's why actually you deviated from the proposed defaults, right?

That seems a little on the low side. Try to take it to the max, you can afford it.

Hi Socratis,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, the vm was Vagrant based VM. I tried to increase the RAM to 4GB and it still got the same issue.

I believe you misread that recommendation; I didn't talk about your RAM, I talked about your VRAM, under VM settings » Display » Video Memory. Take that to either 64 or 128 MB.

And return your RAM back down to around 1.5 to 2 GB, i.e. 1536 to 2048 MB, under VM Settings » System » Base Memory. You originally had it at 1024 MB, which is borderline OK for a 64-bit system. You can definitely afford to give your guest some more RAM.

BTW, if you don't uninstall/remove/purge/nuke your Vagrant, and install VirtualBox and VirtualBox only (clean), I'm afraid that this is going to be the end of my suggestions. You'll need to take this further with Vagrant...

Thanks for the direction.
