Running VirtualBox machine causes Blue Screen of Death on host Windows 7 PC
I tried all of the above mentioned answers, none of them worked.
So I found out the Hyper-V in windows 7 and higher (in my case it is windows 10) is the culprit!
I disabled the Hyper-V services as below and the issue is fixed!
Follow the following steps:
Find the "Turn windows features on or off" from control panel (or type windows features in windows search box)
Uncheck the "Hyper-V" feature from the list
This happens many times, especially when running more than one virtual machine at a time. I.e. two Linux virtual machines, etc.
I looked at the dumps and it's definitely Virtual Box (at least as recent as 4.3.4). I've see it with single as well as multiple Windows 7 VMS also.
Doesn't occur frequently, and I prefer Vbox over VMWare, so I continue to use. I usually just restart and everything is fine.
Also:
In particular, VirtualBox SATA drivers are causing BSOD, so default to IDE.
Ok so these are all the known fixes I found for the blue screen error.
You should check if HyperV is enabled if it is you should disable it
If that does not work you will need to go into virtual box settings and change display option or acceleration option.In display (click on graphics controller and test out each option) (also in the tab system go to acceleration where you see paravirtualization interface test each option until you find the one that works) i cant give the specific option since I don't know what computer you own.
Here are some of the causes for this issue;incompatibility with driver or display,installing another virtual box application with current one installed and lastly,left over files if you where to remove virtual box and reinstall it.
Please share these fixes with everyone with a issue like this
