![]() Hi members, Im using Virtualbox Versio 2.2.4, host is Vista ultimate x64, and guest is XP Pro. Well, i have been testing my vm's 3d graphics, I Want to run a game, and I did it, the game runs great ( Its not necessary to run great but ok hehe ), but the problem is, after a couple hours ( or minutes) i just get a Guru Meditation Error, and the Vm is turned off, I just want to keep the game running for long time (stability over quality and performance) but I cant, I tried to change configuration.guest configuration. The Guru Meditation doesnt show me why the error ocurr. I suspect that is something about 3d acceleration. I tested many things whitout sucess, so I need ur help. I am trying to install VirtualBox 4.3.6-91406 on OS X El Capitan because I want to run an old version of Minix. It is advised to run my version of Minix on VirtualBox 4.3.6 as it may not be compatible with the newest VirtualBox 5.0.12-104815 and anything between. Supporting OS X on AMD CPUs. You have no notifications. Ah, Can I ask What is ACPI option? Thx all Waiting for reply Posts: 4 Joined: 20.

Giving more that 50% of the main memory to the guest, running intense video as I assume your game is doing and causing the memory to become full and leaving nothing else to be used by the program. You can try turning the guest memory up/down some and see if this helps. Other than that you will need to supply the exact guest settings and memory available on the host before we can tell. There is also a log that VBox keeps in the program GUI under machine that you can read after the crash and it may detail what is going on. ACPI = Google is where it is at to find things like this.

The game doesnt need much memory and 3d performance ( Its Mu Online ), my Guest has 256 of memory and 128 of vga memory My Host has 4G of ram, 512M of video ( Geforce 8600 gt ) and the Core2Quad processor ( Q6600 ) I tried to check virtual memory when running the game and I didnt see anything wrong, I dunno how the VGA memory works ( VGA not enough? Really what you said about the memory makes sense, cause the error is not immediately, like something lacking after a couple hours. The lack of memory for the guest also applies to the video's memory? Thx Posts: 4 Joined: 20.

It's not so much the memory that the game needs as it is how much does the Guest need to play this game. Keep in mind that the 512 you have allocated has to run the guest and the game. If you set it to a low figure say 512 it may (due to a memory leak) it will fail sooner. Try setting it at 1024 Meg and see if it will run longer. Google chat hangout for windows. Then you can trouble shoot it further after that. Site Moderator Posts: 34372 Joined: 6. Sep 2008, 22:55 Primary OS: Linux other VBox Version: OSE self-compiled Guest OSses: *NIX. You may wish to test 3.0.0beta1, I imagine 3d acceleration support for OpenGL (I assume that's what the game uses) may have had bug fixes applied to it. I'm pretty sure video memory allocated to a VM comes from your RAM, not from your own video memory (since everything is emulated in the VM, including the video card). However with hardware acceleration it's possible that the amount of video memory wouldn't matter and that it would be able to use your host's video memory. I don't know enough about how it works.
