Hey community, I have been having a hell of a time trying to figure
out why my vm keeps crashing... I am currently using Proxmox 8.0 and
have a few Windows VMs using GPU Passthroughs, so I can use them like
normal pcs on the go! Though recently I got myself a NAS and I have
been trying to figure out why I am crashing constantly without any
notice or crash logs...

Since I am using Parsec, I am unable to see any blue screens on the
system. I logged in to proxmox and switched off the gpu and used just
the screen, and I'll sometimes get a blue screen, but it's too fast
for me to screenshot. I've been using a software called "Who Crashed"
to check my BSOD's and nothing is showing anything important.... Event
log shows that the system has rebooted unexpectedly by itself. I am
assuming this could be an issue with Windows on Proxmox 8.0? I've
never seen this happen before when using Proxmox 7.4, but I am unable
to revert at this point.

TLDR: Windows crashes / reboots instantly after using my network share
from time to time... I have no clue why it would be doing this, but
it's happening and is really messing with what I need to be working
on!

Make sure you have the KVM Guest Drivers installed for Windows.

KVM gas is always installed, but I just un-selected ballooning device
and everything seems to be fine for the meantime. I’ll update this
thread if anything changes.

So I left the vm on for over 10 hours and it has crashed twice with
this BSOD ERROR:

HAL_Initialization_FAILED
