Windows 10 VM stopped working/auto shutdown

[Solas]

Hi Guys,

My Windows 10 VM - originally set up as per Spaceinvaderone's instructions - started to shut down automatically after working without any issues for 7-8 months straight (VM's log and settings provided below).

I've been using it as a gaming VM for Elder Scroll Online (ESO). I expanded the VM's disk space by 65Gb and added EVE Online 4-5 days ago. Both games worked fine in isolation from each other. Two days ago I decided to launch EVE Online while the ESO launcher was still running in a background downloading a substantial update (without running the actual ESO game). 

EVE Online did start but the VM itself stopped several minutes later. Since then any attempt to start the VM results in an automatic shutdown.

 

The VM's share/image does use cache, but cache (1Gb SSD) was only 60% full at the time the issue occurred (now only 20% of the cache is used).

 

I'd greatly appreciate if someone can shed any light on this mystery. Thank you for considering my post.
