Windows VM setup


Recommended Posts

Posted

As per the videos by unraid I followed them to the t! I am having a weird issue. I got windows to boot up and it worked perfectly for like 4 days. I even used it as a streaming pc for my gaming pc. Worked flawlessly amazing stuff.

 

Today I went to use it and it got stuck. No big deal I force stopped the VM. Restarted it it got to the windows turning dial turned a bit then stops amd the screen starts going off and on. 
 

 

hardware is a gigabyte designaire z390 mobo with i5 9600k 32 Gb ram and a rx570 video card

 

added in a sas card for extra hard drives also a usb 3.0 controller that I actually pushed unraid to boot from so I could use onboard usb of the mobo. Also a 10gb Ethernet card. 

 

i have the video card, sound for video card and the usb controller all passing through to the vm.

 

i tried the q35 that worked at first but changing it does nothing now

i tried seabios vs ovmf

i reduced the ram

and the cores of the cpu 

I disconnected everything and tried barebones usb devices and such.

 

 

my problems now are it is in a stuck boot mode. It begins to boot then gets hung up at the loading screen. I’ve gotten it to boot under vnc but why is this video card such a big deAl? 
 

am I missing something simple is there something I missed. Any help would be appreciated!

 

photo is current vm settings.

Did you try rebooting the server? The RX570 has reset issue so all the problems could just be it wasn't reset properly.

Also considering the 9600K has an IGPU, you probably want to set your motherboard to boot with the iGPU and then dump your own vbios for the RX570. That may (or may not) help with the reset issue.

 

Changing machine type needs a brand new template from scratch. Changing it on the GUI isn't gonna work due to the complex changes from PCI to PCIe.
