Question Oracle VM VirtualBox is crashing my PC on Windows 10

[Minutoh]

For some reason, Oracle VM VirtualBox is crashing my PC about two or three times a week. It seems very inconsistent, so I'm not sure what's causing it. It usually works just fine for hours on end, and then it randomly crashes. In the most recent crash, my PC crashed as soon as I opened VirtualBox. I am using the Debian 12 Bookworm OS on my VM for class although I'm using Windows 10 Education as my actual OS. I tried to reduce my number of processors to 5 and then 4 instead of 6, but that did not help. I tried to adjust my base memory as well, but that also didn't work. I'm not sure what else I can do to fix this.
