windows 7 frequently crashes when running 64 bit debian on virtualbox
- by erin c
I've been having some hard times with Virtualbox. I use it to run 64-bit Debian guest on a Windows 7 host to be able to code for linux systems.
It generally crashes when I build my code in eclipse cdt, or if I am doing some intensive operations.
Should I lower the memory and core usage? Is this some sort of virtualbox problem?
I upgraded to virtualbox v4.1.8 and the problem still occurs.
My virtual machine instance uses 1736MB out of 4GB of ram, and I use 2 out of 8 processor cores. But still, the whole thing crashes 1 or 2 times every single day.
