Reboot required to resume system. I faced 4 times. I rollback to kernel 4.10.0-42. Now I am able to start vm perfectly. Please look into this kernel issue.

Would it be possible for you to test the proposed kernel and post back if it resolves this bug?
See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

Thank you in advance!

I have tested kernel 4.13.0.38.57 from xenial-proposed and virtualbox is still freezing with virtualbox 5.0.40-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2.

Kernel 4.15.0.13.39, also from -proposed is too recent for Virtualbox 5.0.40-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2, and the vbox kernel module fails to build.

However, installing virtualbox 5.1.34-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2 from -proposed (instead of 5.0.40-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2 from xenial-updates) worked on the -proposed 4.13 kernel as well as the 4.13.0.37.56 kernel from xenial-updates

So, an imperfect solution for those freezes might be to upgrade Virtualbox to -proposed version (5.1) until it lands in -updates
