Guest Additions 4.0.4 cause BSOD - IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

[Steven Williams]

Upgraded virtual box from 3.2.8 to 4.0.4. No problems. Then upgraded the guest additions to 4.0.4. Guest now gives BSOD - IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL - Stop 0A. Disabling the VT-x/AMD-V allows to boot into Windows, but causes a different stop when shutting down.

Host: Windows 7 64bit Home Premium Guest: Windows XP SP 3

All drivers etc are up to date.

No problems with 4.0.4 or guest additions with Ubuntu or Ubuntu Server64

Please install updated guest additions:

This build might fix the problem.

unfortunately, it did not fix the problem :(

Other details that may be helpful - AMD Phenom II P920 Quad-Core 4.0 GB mem HP Pavilion dv7 laptop model dvr-4051nr

Also, using 4.0.4 with 3.2.8 guest additions works. Soon as I upgrade to 4.0.4 or the suggested r70281, I get the BSOD unless I disable the VT-x/AMD-V.

Uninstalling Avira Antivir fixed the problem. Trying other anti-virus's now. Will report if another causes the same problem.

There is a newer build of the guest additions:

You could try it as well. There were a couple of fixes for possible guest crashes.

Thanks.

I had a similar problem: Vbox 4.0.4, WinXP guest, Ubuntu 10.04 host.

Windows crashed showing non-informative with installed guest additions 4.0.4. Booting in safe mode and uninstalling the guest additions removed the problem. The error was reproducible.

Installing the guest additions 70411 (4.0.5) removed the problem.

So it appears that the problem is fixed as the fix is contained in VBox 4.0.6.
