I have disabled automatic restart on system failure in System Properties of Windows, but the crash still restarts the laptop (I have McAfee SafeBoot installed, which is a disk encryption system, after the crash I arrive at the Safeboot login). On another 6450b laptop, which was very recently delivered and so has up-to-date BIOS and drivers, we installed Win 7 64-bit o/s and found that the 64-bit Centos VM ran solidly with no crashes. We then rebuilt the same laptop with Win 7 32-bit o/s and saw that the 64-bit Centos VM crashed the host as on my laptop. I have discussed this problem on the forums with no solution: http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=39752&sid=0ea61614b7b546fea7d50f19a9d7e3db I will attach the log of a crashed VM to this ticket. I don't know how to obtain a minidump but will get one if you tell me how. Best regards David ",defect,closed,other,VirtualBox 4.0.8,duplicate,,,other,other
