Ticket #2275 (closed defect: duplicate)
VBoxSVC.exe high CPU usage and VMM doesn't start
|Reported by:||felipe.aburaya||Owned by:|
OS: Windows Vista Business SP1 x86 / CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ with AMD-V feature enabled and recognized by VirtualBox
After i have switched the user account or returned from locked state or stand-by, if i try to open the VirtualBox, VBoxSVC.exe starts using CPU intensively (particularly, the second core) and the VMM doesn't show his window, however his process has started. Killing the VBoxSVC.exe through the Task Manager causes an error message of the VMM leading to process termination. Otherwise, if the VMM process is killed, VBoxSVC.exe continues frying my CPU. I have experienced the same problem when I was using VB 1.6.4 and maybe the 1.6.6 too.
