Just upgraded to 5.1 from 5.0.24 - and Windows XP machine crashes every time you try to load. The saved session crashed. The fresh boot crashed. I can do a Windows Safe boot (and loaded the new utilities there), but a regular boot still crashes.

According to the VBox.log file the VT-x mode of your host is not available for some reason. Disabled in the BIOS? Try to enable it.

I've got a similiar problem as Trolleyfan. Windows XP crashses right after start the login screen pops up.
VT-x mode is disabled because my host cpu doesn't support it.
I've tried VirtualBox-5.1.0-108711-Win.exe as well as version VirtualBox-5.1.2-108956-Win.exe. Both versions have the same problem.

I had exactly the same problem, and my Windows XP VM was running perfectly for years. I fixed it using only 1 virtual CPU in the VM configuration. There must be some regression in the way VirtualBox deals with I/O APIC and more than one CPU in Windows XP guests.
