Hello Jon,

Are you able to reproduce these freezes relatively easily?  If so, could 
you try booting the guest with the kernel boot parameter "acpi=noirq" 
(if you are not comfortable with that, you could instead disable ACPI 
for that machine from the main VirtualBox window under Details 
tab/General/Advanced) and trying to reproduce the freeze?

Thanks,

Michael
