The same has been happening to me sporadically since about 4.1.12 or so. VMs will hang while doing a guest OS Shutdown, or while doing Close > Save machine state. Using TaskManager (Windows host) and selecting VBoxSVC and 'End process tree' (which also kills off the child VirtualBox.exe) will force the VM to exit. The log file has this repeated at the end: 01:46:45.490 Changing the VM state from 'SUSPENDING' to 'SUSPENDED'. 01:46:47.958 Changing the VM state from 'SUSPENDED' to 'SAVING'. 01:47:32.883 SSM: Footer at 0x80a04642 (2157987394), 35 directory entries. 01:47:33.270 SSM: Successfully saved the VM state to 'C:\Users\Mark\VirtualBox VMs\Windows Server 2008 R2\Snapshots\2012-08-21T02-10-39-175593200Z.sav' 01:47:33.347 Changing the VM state from 'SAVING' to 'SUSPENDED'. 01:47:33.440 Console::powerDown(): A request to power off the VM has been issued (mMachineState=Saving, InUninit=0) 01:47:33.468 ERROR [COM]: aRC=E_ACCESSDENIED (0x80070005) aIID={1968b7d3-e3bf-4ceb-99e0-cb7c913317bb} aComponent={Console} aText={The virtual machine is being powered down}, preserve=false 01:47:34.503 ERROR [COM]: aRC=E_ACCESSDENIED (0x80070005) aIID={1968b7d3-e3bf-4ceb-99e0-cb7c913317bb} aComponent={Console} aText={The virtual machine is being powered down}, preserve=false 01:47:35.426 ERROR [COM]: aRC=E_ACCESSDENIED (0x80070005) aIID={1968b7d3-e3bf-4ceb-99e0-cb7c913317bb} aComponent={Console} aText={The virtual machine is being powered down}, preserve=false 01:47:36.426 ERROR [COM]: aRC=E_ACCESSDENIED (0x80070005) aIID={1968b7d3-e3bf-4ceb-99e0-cb7c913317bb} aComponent={Console} aText={The virtual machine is being powered down}, preserve=false ... and then the aRC=E_ACCESSDENIED repeats once per second until I end the task. In cases where the VM does 'Save machine state' successfully, there can still be between 1 and 20 instances of the aRC=E_ACCESSDENIED message, interspersed among the other shutdown messages (counters and stuff).
