I also have a VM which hangs every now and then (no console, no respons whatsoever). Afaik the only thing to do is to restart it and begin troubleshooting from there......

its currently running on a snapshot i created a month ago, will that make it safe? if it corrupts can i revert to the original state?
What does the reset do? I see there is power off and reset then shut down guest and restart guest.
