Without performing any update, suddenly today when I tried to power on a VM in VirtualBox, the host machine (running Ubuntu 16.04) freezed.
Any idea?
The only way to recover the host was to hard-reset.
ps: The freeze happens as soon as I click the "Start" button.
Host details:
- I tried couple of times and the problem keep repeating.
- I run memtest: all good
- Tried to create a new VM just in case: same issue.
- Downgraded the VirtualBox installation: didn't help at all.
- Disabled network, shared folders etc: Nothing.
- On the same PC I've got dual boot with Windows 10, tried there VirtualBox & VMWare -> no problem at all starting the machines.
(just to minimize the probability of HW issue)
