Hi All,

 

I'm quite new to Unraid. I made a Windows 10 VM, and as I'd seen alot of topics about it I went out and bought a cheap Nvidia GPU (Asus GT 710 1GB), then realised that there was so much talk because they're a pain!

 

There was no VBIOS on Techpowerup, but i managed to dump one with SpaceInvaderOne's amazing script. I did have a bit of trouble with IOMMU groups and updated to  6.9.0-rc2 to adjust the PCIe ACS Override, which was the only way I managed to dump the VBIOS.

 

Had the VM running for a few days now, and everything was fine, rebooted the server a few times. Then today i've rebooted and nada. I changed the Primary GPU back to VNC to see if the problem was GPU or VM related, and VNC booted just fine.

 

Is there anything obvious in this XML that would speak to what the issue could be? For what I paid for the GPU it's no great loss to replace with an AMD one I guess?

 

Thanks In Advance!

When you say "nada", what does that mean?  The VM seems to boot okay but no video output?  You get an error popup in unRAID?  The VM icon spins but drops back to stopped?

 

There isn't anything obvious in the XML that I can see.  Is it your only GPU, because if not you may not need to attach a VBios.  I'd also make the GPU a multifunction, but that shouldn't prevent anything from booting.

 

I can see your passing through a GPU, but not a keyboard or mouse.  Is that on purpose?

 

What if you create a new VM and pass the GPU through right away?  Just to see if its a GPU, unraid, or Windows issue
