Description
When trying to create a new VM, installing from ISO installations appear to fail with Guru Mediation Error.
Basic Linux Centos 6.2 appears to install and run fine. I have various Ubuntu built ISO's based on 12.04 LTS that fail to install (Appears to be when trying to write data to the virtual disk)
Examples of ISO's that I have seen this when attempting to install are: Samuria-WTF2.0 - http://sourceforge.net/projects/samurai/files/
BackTrack5_R3 - downloaded iso from http://www.backtrack-linux.org/downloads/
Similar issues seen with Windows7 Pro VM install from iso, and a Windows Server 2008 x64 VM install from iso
My Host: Windows7 x64 Enterprise (SP1)
I will reproduce and attach the error logs

Update: I have tried this with an old version: 4.1.8 and see the same issue.

The log file shows the typical out-of-memory condition on Windows hosts. The current VirtualBox behavior is a bug. It should warn and give the user to terminate concurrent applications instead of showing a Guru Meditation. That bug is reported elsewhere and not that easy to fix.

Replying to frank:

It appears that this is happening with adequate memory available. I will upload a screenshot showing approx 3GB memory free when running a 2GB virtual machine. At point of crash. (CPU usage does increase)
Is there an overhead, in virtual box that I am not seeing. I can run a VMware version with identical configuration with no issues. (I am trying to get away from VMware)

There are other defects regarding this problem. It must be some Windows-specific problem. Some user report about a Google library which is responsible for this, other user report a problem with a tool called 'prio', see here.
