Virtualbox guests gets aborted after 10 seconds of boot

I have this problem for about 4 months - all virtual machines (ubuntu, arch, windows 7) aborts while booting. I have searched through many forums, but I am not able to point out where the problem is. My computer is lenovo thinkpad T420, i5 second generation (i5-2520M), Accelerations enabled: PAE/NX, nested paging, VT-x/AMD-V. The virtualbox version os 4.3.28-1. The linux kernel version is 3.14.43-2-lts
The last 4 lines of the log when booting a live CD of lubuntu are:

00:00:13.936842 PIIX3 ATA: Ctl#0: RESET, DevSel=0 AIOIf=1 CmdIf0=0x00 (-1 usec ago) CmdIf1=0xa0 (-1 usec ago)
00:00:13.936896 PIIX3 ATA: Ctl#0: finished processing RESET
00:00:13.937058 PIIX3 ATA: Ctl#1: RESET, DevSel=0 AIOIf=0 CmdIf0=0xa1 (-1 usec ago) CmdIf1=0x00 (-1 usec ago)
00:00:13.937101 PIIX3 ATA: Ctl#1: finished processing RESET

Re: Virtualbox guests gets aborted after 10 seconds of boot

For what it's worth, I started having similar difficult-to-diagnose aborts, with the logs giving me nothing. New and old guest machines would abort a few seconds into boot. This after having used virtualbox a lot, with several different types of guests for many months.

After lots of experimentation with guest settings, I found that System/Pointing device is set to USB Tablet on guests that aborts. Settings this this to PS/2 Mouse seems to fix the problem. I really do not know what the default pointing device used to be for my guests, as I mostly don't run any graphical guests, and thus don't fiddle with these kind of settings...
