For a couple of weeks I have some problems with the VM's. Time to time when I'm installing a new software and require to restart the VM I'm getting a black screen that say's that Windows fail to start and he gives me 2 option - repair and start normally. If I try to recover I'm getting some errors and I need to go the other way ( start normally), only that this time I get a blue screen. 

 

Also some times the webgui is getting stuck ( no answer). I tried to shutdown the server via telnet / ssh but is not working - so I restarted manually but I don't think is a good idea to do that to often. 

 

My questions are:

 

How do I repair my VM ?

Why is doing this ?

How can I make this to not happen anymore?

First and foremost is to run Memtest, and check for BIOS updates.  Windows BSODs are usually either memory related or driver related

Hi Squid, 

 

Thanks for the fast response. I did the check with Memtest86 and the RAM is fine, no errors. The problem with this image is that it doesn't let me chose a img backup. 

 

The problem that I'm getting time to time is that when I'm installing a new software in a VM and require RESTART of the VM, then I'm getting Windows recovery screen. If I am using the GPU the keyboard is not working only the mouse, so I need to switch to VNC and select from there "Start Normally" and after that switch back to the GPU. 

 

If I tried to chose recover your system after a image is given me the error attached in the picture down bellow. 

 

It is a way how to put a backup image from another VM in his place. The VM that have problems now is named Windows 7 - software, and I have a clean backup from another VM named Windows 7 - Games. It is possible to do something like that ? 

 

If anyone have any idea is welcome write it here.
