Windows 10 vm crashing to black screen randomly

[Rbby258]

Edit: I've narrowed it down to a hardware issue, possibly cpu or the motherboard. I will update and close this once I've found which.

 

For some reason my windows 10 vm is going into a black screen after a few minutes of being in windows. I've been using this vm with a RTX 3090 passthrough and a 13900k with everything water-cooled and runs perfectly in bare metal booting straight from the nvme, motherboard is z790 Taichi carrara.

 

I've had it say this in the vm logs right when it crashes

qemu-system-x86_64: vfio: Unable to power on device, stuck in D3

 

And this right after launching overwatch 2 and freezing

This problem has only just started happening, before it would run for days until manually shutdown.

 

Please let me know any other information you my need to help me as I'm no longer able to use this vm. 

 

Many thanks.

Try vfio-pci.disable_idle_d3=1 instead of disable_idle_d3=1

However this may well be a motherboard bios issue.

change also from this:

Hi, thanks for helping. I added that and also tried and tested many other things but finally have answers! A faulty 13900k and some faulty cablemod customs psu cables.. I ordered a i5 13500 and another "cheap" z790 board to test hardware. Cpu didn't work properly on both boards. And cables would cause issues like loss of display if the pc was knocked.

 

Changing cpu and going back to my oem cables got everything working again. Have to say, cablemod have issued new cables at no cost and intel has agreed to refund my 13900k because "we can only offer you a refund for the CPU, because we were informed that the part or any alternate parts are currently out of stock and there is no ETA for new incoming stock" mad.
