BSOD on staring VirtualBox in Windows Vista.

[shivashis]

Hi,

I am trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 (32bit i386 edition) in VirtualBox 3.0.10. I am running Windows Vista. Whenever I open VirtualBox and start Ubuntu for installing, my system crashes and I see BSOD.

Can insights and suggestions to solve this will be greatly appreciated.

The reason mentioned on the blue screen was: "A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval".

I did ran Windows degugger to debug the reason for the memory dumb. (I am using Windows Vista SP 2, AMD Turion 64 X@ TL-69, 2.00Ghz, 2.00GB Ram, 32 bit Vista. I am trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 in VirtualBox 3.0.10.) This is what I found (see attached windbg file):

Please reopen if still relevant with a recent VirtualBox release.
