Windows 7 Guest hard locks with > 1 CPU -> retry with 3.1.4

Description
With Slackware 64bit host (kernel 2.6.32-rc7) and Windows 7 64bit RTM guest, the guest hard locks after a few minutes with more than 1 cpu enabled. Screen is frozen and does not accept input. If I select Machine > Pause or Machine > ACPI Shutdown, the screen becomes corrupted with black and random colors. Sometimes the crash occurs as early as the welcome screen, and sometimes it crashes after 5 or 10 minutes. Virtualbox itself remains stable, and other running VMs are not affected. With one cpu enabled, everything is stable.

Should be fixed now.

It's much more stable with 3.1.2. I've had the guest running for several days now, and it does seem to be fixed. I did experience this same crash one time on 3.1.2, so I don't know if I would say it's 100% fixed, but I haven't been able to reproduce it again since then. It's at least stable enough that I'm actually running it with all four cores enabled. Thanks!

I left the guest running overnight with 4 cores enabled. There were no applications open, just idle on the desktop. In the morning, all four of my cores were at 100% usage and the guest was not responding to input. It was the same crash with the same graphical corruption. So now it has happened twice so far with 3.1.2, but stability has definitely increased quite a bit.

Forgot to mention I was running kernel 2.6.32.1 when the second crash happened on 3.1.2.

Retry with 3.1.4. That version will include an important stability fix for SMP guests.

Please check if 3.1.4 beta 1 solves the problem: http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=27300

Please reopen if it still occurs with 3.1.4.
I have the same issue using 3.1.0 on a Windows 7 host and a Windows 2003 x64. Same graphic corruption.
This problem did not exist with the VM in 3.0.12. After upgrading 3.1.0, it hangs with more than 1 cpu.
