BSOD - after enabling virtualization and VT-d in BIOS

Description (last modified by )
My guest OS was very slow so I tried to enable virtualization and VT-D in BIOS. After booting the guest OS and starting some heavy Java-apps i get a blue screen. This happens every time.
It seems the BSOD happens less frequently if I give the guest less RAM (e.g. 1GB)
I have a colleague who experiences the exact same problem.
Host: Lenovo T410s 3GB RAM Windows XP SP3 32b it
Guest: 4 CPU 1400MB RAM CentOS 6.0 32 bit Running Oracle OSB + Eclipse (requires much RAM)

The attached dump file seems corrupt. Could you re-attach another one here please?

Uploaded the same file zipped. Please let me know if this works or if I have to do a new BSOD.

Yes, seems like you have uploaded exactly the same corrupted dump. You would need to create another one, i.e. BSOD your system again.

Here is a completely new dump.
Unfortunately the dump is corrupt as well :( Perhaps you could try getting the dump running a VM with less VRAM assigned to it?

I'm using a t410s with an i5-560M, 64-bit Windows 7 and 8GB memory. I'm typing this into a 64-bit Solaris Express guest with 3GB memory & 1 CPU assigned to it. All VT options are enabled in my BIOS and I use various java apps frequently, like the Cisco ASDM for managing an ASA.
I'm not adding this note to be a problem or say 'haha it works for me!', but to offer success on the same platform but with a very different configuration. Using VB 4.1.2.

I set the VRAM to 800MB and threw everyting I could at it. I had maxed CPU and RAM and almost all swap but i did not get any BSOD.
I will try again with a bit more VRAM and report back.
I have a gut feeling this problem is related to there beeing a 1GB and a 3GB SODIMM in the laptop with VT-x enabled. I have had graphics problems with another laptop after enabling VT-x and the same memory config. Then it was a bug in BIOS/chipset.

Hi,
A setting of 1200MB VRAM gives me a BSOD and a corrupt dump file. I tested it with the kd -z command.
If I can get a crash with less RAM I will report back.

I tried 1GB VRAM and no BSOD this time. I doesn't look like I'm able to create a valid dump. There has to be a serious fault with the Windows XP install or laptop.

Try to reproduce the issue with VT-d disabled in BIOS.
Also try with nested paging disabled in VM settings.

Please reopen if still relevant with a recent VirtualBox release.
