I did a fresh install and used the latest version of vbox - version 4.3.26-98988-Win. I bet you're using the older recommended version and I messed up by using a newer release?

Have you checked the VB Virtual Media Manager to see if you have any flagged files that need to be deleted? In the BOINC manager do you have the "leave application in memory when suspended" option checked? I'm asking because it can gobble up a lot of memory and the time for swapping the virtual memory with physical memory can cause the error you are seeing. Just a thought from a foolish old man that hasn't programmed since the 1980s.

My machine running just CMS and vLHC together hasn't had a glitch - at all. However, my machine running CMS, vLHC and ATLAS together gets the multiple dead VDi files. If I start the VM manager it gives me a warning and I simply delete the yellowed VDi files and everything is fine. That is, as long as I do that about every 6 hours. As soon at ATLAS has more work available - I'll stop vLHC and assign ATLAS to work with CMS only. I'm willing to bet I'll start having problems on my problem-free machine after that. I'll give an update in a couple of days.
