    My problem is that my computer is restarting during installation linux (latest versions: debian, mint, ubuntu, lubuntu 64 and 32 bit) in virtual box (latest version 5.1.14).
    Equipment
    Dell optiplex 740 enhanced :
    Windows 7 SP1 Home 64 bit
    AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000B 2.6 GB processor
    4 GB RAM
    ST316031 8AS SCSI hard drive
    graphics card (integrated) NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE.

    By enabling a virtual box, I set all parameters for a specific system by default. Then I turn on the set system and the linux menu is shown to me. I choose the installation linux and then after a moment of loading the settings, the computer restarts or a bluescreen appears with an error notification.
    I tried various ways from installing 32 bit systems, through increasing the operating memory (RAM), updating the BIOS, to trying to update the drivers (unfortunately dell does not support this hardware on win 7, the current drivers were installed by the seller of a post-leasing computer running win 7). Additionally, I checked with the program Securable does the processor support virtualization and my processor copes with this problem. Installing linux alongside windows is out of the question (too inconvenient). I already lack ideas :( , but maybe some of you can advise something?

    Hello,
    and what is the inconvenience of installing linux next to wine?
    Maybe test the live version, why are you installing it now if it's so inconvenient?
    Linux will work even with USB, maybe it won't be crazy with the write speed but it will work fine.
    Since you have a problem with multiple distributions, something is rather bad with virtualbox than with linux. How live will work, you will have confirmation.
    I have computers with problematic wines more often than with linux.
    Just out of curiosity why you use a SCSI disk, maybe the controller is incompatible but I installed a lot on SCSI disks myself and there was never a problem.
    Does the drive have errors? maybe you are creating an image on a partition with errors and therefore have errors.
    greetings

    Try disabling 3D hardware acceleration in Vbox and set to 1 CPU core.

    Unfortunately, when turning on the live version, the computer also restarts. :(

    This is what I had from the beginning, the discs do not know which are the better technologies and which are outdated or worse.

    I checked the Windows system tool and the disk is ok.

    He's not going :(

    I was inspired to install an older version of virtual box 4.0.36, from a friend I downloaded a ready file with a virtual system (debian 64) and it started off surprisingly. It's the same with the live versions, I can work in them. However, if I try to install a new system (ubuntu64, lubuntu64) it fails (it installs, restarts and hangs. When I try to turn it on again, it needs to be reinstalled). Maybe it's really a virtual box problem and compatibility with my hardware.

    Somehow, I don't know why I didn't get SCSI. Check if the disk controller under VBox is "flying" after IDE, PIIX4. Nothing else comes to mind. Alternatively, an attempt to start with the VT-x extension disabled. At least by trial and error we'll check what doesn't cause errors.

    Hello,
    and what does your colleague say that he has a SCSI disk, what kind of controller do you have? because from the symbol you entered in the search engine, it comes out to me that it is a sata and not a scsi, connected to the disc with a cable or your own controller with a tape?
    Since your computer reboots in the live version, do not worry about installing it.
    Probably some hardware conflict or some component crashes. Have there ever been any signs of malfunctioning? is it damaged?
    Disk - give SMART
    Maybe you test 32bit versions of the shell you have problems with 64bit ones.
    Test Mint I have not met a computer on which it would not run, you can download versions 32 and 64 and with a nice or light graphical interface depending on the performance of the graphics card and the system, test XFCE is the lightest version. The newest is the 18th but also the 13th works on everything.
    greetings

    It's written SCSI so I didn't dig the topic. Only I understood that live carbonatite colleagues are working, the problem begins, how to install (at least on version 4.0).

    It's probably VirtualBox's fault. For me, Vbox is the worst machine I know. The best machines are the free MS VirtualPC 2007 SP1 and VMware 8.0.
    The former does not support 64-bit guest OSes, but is stable and takes up little disk space. The second is only better for two reasons: it supports 64-bit guest systems and can emulate 3D DirectX acceleration, but is a lot of work and it's not free.

    SMART:
    Problem with the virtual system - Error installing linux in the virtual box
    everything is fine with the disc.

    I tried linux 32 and 64 systems, none of them go. I tried to change the Virtual Box settings a bit, the controllers turned off the VT-x extension (unfortunately I do not know what it is and I do not know what it is responsible for, so honestly I do not know what exactly I changed, I did not try all the combinations, but as I said I am in it green). This time, however, a black image appears during installation, and then turns into random pixels of different colors.

    The only solution that works is a ready file with the installed system (Debian 64) in the .ova extension which I downloaded from a friend.

    Thank you for your help, the problem is probably on the disk side or on the Virtual Box side. Unfortunately, I also don't have too much time to work on it and thoroughly test all possible options (and I don't even know about most of them). I consider the subject as partially resolved.

    greetings

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around issues faced while installing various Linux distributions (Debian, Mint, Ubuntu, Lubuntu) on VirtualBox (version 5.1.14) on a Dell OptiPlex 740 running Windows 7 SP1. The user experiences system restarts and blue screens during installation attempts. Suggestions include testing live versions of Linux, disabling 3D hardware acceleration, and checking disk controller settings. The user reports that older versions of VirtualBox and pre-installed system images work, indicating potential compatibility issues with the current VirtualBox version and hardware. The user also mentions that the SCSI hard drive may be a factor, although SMART diagnostics show no errors. Alternatives like MS VirtualPC and VMware are recommended for better stability and support for 64-bit guest OSes.
