I used gdb to debug QEMU process, and add a breakpoint in qemu_system_reset_request(), when the case occurred, backtrace shown as below,
(gdb) bt
#0 qemu_system_reset_request () at vl.c:1964
#1 0x00007f9ef9dc5991 in kvm_cpu_exec (env=0x7f9efac47100)
at /gt/qemu-kvm-1.4/qemu-kvm-1.4/kvm-all.c:1602
#2 0x00007f9ef9d5b229 in qemu_kvm_cpu_thread_fn (arg=0x7f9efac47100)
at /gt/qemu-kvm-1.4/qemu-kvm-1.4/cpus.c:759
#3 0x00007f9ef898b5f0 in start_thread () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0
#4 0x00007f9ef86fa84d in clone () from /lib64/libc.so.6
#5 0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()
And, I add printk log in all place where KVM_EXIT_SHUTDOWN exit reason is set, only handle_triple_fault() was called.

No, winxp is not set to auto-reset in case of BSOD. No Winxp event log reported.

What I asked is why triple fault happened in my case.

Great thanks, I'll run QEMU with -no-reboot -no-shutdown options, if VM paused in my case, what should I examined?
Thanks,
