6# Still cannot get it to work, getting the black screen on boot. I know that the settings have been applied correctly, as this is what I see in my macosdev.vbox: And yet, nothing. VT-x is enabled. The CPU is the latest i7-7500U KobyLake. 16gb of RAM, NVidia GTX 970 4G video card, just black screen, nothing else.- Hi. Change your Chipset to. In case selinux may also making issue for black screen appeared while booting. Please disable and reboot the machine. Blackscreen at vm startup on VirtualBox #36. The VM boots but if I change the second adapter to NAT then I have the black screen.

[Solved] After VIrtualbox 6.1.12-4 (Linux) update VMs fail to start
[SOLVED] Virtualbox (6.1.12-4) when starting VM freezes and locks-up
I'm experiencing very similar symptoms, but this issue was supposedly fixed with a VirtualBox update. What I'm seeing:
When boot a Windows 10 guest (either an installed system or an ISO), the guest hangs in about 2-3 seconds.
With the installed system, it hangs on the blue Windows logo, with the ISO, I just get a black screen.
The rest of the OS remains working (although I have seen some hangs on the drive the VMs are stored on), but the guest cannot be killed, even with
. The process becomes a zombie consuming 100% of one CPU core.
When I attempt to reboot the computer, it hangs at the end of the shutdown process, requiring a physical poweroff and restart.
Things I have tried to do to fix the problem (based on suggestions in the other threads):
Change the USB controller version from USB 3.0 to USB 2.0 or USB 1.0.
Disable the network adapter entirely (some posts claim the issue is with using the bridged adapter, but I'm using NAT).
Change the graphics controller, disable 3D acceleration, enable / disable PAE, enable / disable hardware acceleration.
Switch from the prebuilt host modules to the DKMS modules.
Stuff that works:
Windows XP ISO
macOS VM
I haven't tried reverting back to old kernel versions and old versions of VirtualBox yet, because the ones reported working in these other threads are quite old at this point and I'd like to avoid that if at all possible.
