Windows 10 VM randomly freezing

[sciku]

Hello! 

 

I've got a windows 10 VM running Steam + Tdarr with an NVIDIA 1650. For some reason, while I'm gaming (or not) the VM will randomly just freeze. Looking at the diagnostics I can't even see an error or anything occurring. The Tdarr transcoding + videos are shared to the VM via SMB. The games are all embedded into the vdisk. I took these diagnostics right after the vm froze last while I was playing a game (not demanding -- stardew valley). I was playing it on my phone streamed through steam link.  

 

I've seen some threads around where this behaviour is reported when using virtiofs. I was initially using virtiofs to share a drive however  I removed the drive, uninstalled the guest tools and winfsp as well, and the problem still persists. Any suggestions? Any insight is appreciated!

Did you reset the memory backing lines from the XML?
