In [[QEMU]], a triple fault produces a dump of the virtual machine in the console, with the instruction pointer set to the instruction that triggered the first exception.

In [[VirtualBox]], a triple fault causes a [[Guru Meditation]] error to be displayed to the user. A virtual machine in this state has most features disabled and cannot be restarted. If the VirtualBox Debugger is open, a message is printed indicating a Triple fault has occurred, followed by a register dump and [[Disassembler|disassembly]] of the last instruction executed, similar to the output of the <code>rg</code> debugger command.

When using [[Intel VT-x]], a triple fault causes a VM exit, with exit reason 2. The exit reason is saved to the VMCS and may be handled by the VMM software.

In [[VMware]], an error message will be displayed and the virtual machine will need to be reset.
