the best thing about my gaming vm is how if you try and play Halo MCC it somehow forces the HOST to restart. Easy anti cheat really hardcore ig
@roxie how does it handle memory? 🤔
@dumpsterqueer VM has 8gb and that's it. Neither the VM nor the host max out. The force reset of the host happens at random times but only when I'm playing halo MCC. Usually between 3 seconds to 2 minutes before it kills the host.
@roxie graphics card overheating?
@roxie Most likely it's triggering a bug in the host kernel. Probably the graphics driver.
@danielcassidy see that doesn't even make sense either. The GPU for the host has a stub driver on the host. Its then passed through to the VM directly. So the host doesn't actually touch the graphics driver being used.
@roxie still, if the vm has direct access to the gpu it is not at all surprising to me that it's possible to leverage that access to crash or reboot the host, intentionally or otherwise.
@roxie I mean obviously it *shouldnt* be that way but the gpu is pretty much directly attached to the pci-x bus, which is also more or less the main system bus, and it wouldn't take much of a bug for something attached to the system bus to trigger a reboot.
Seriously tho how can a process in the VM kill the PC? I doubt its via the powrsupply I just added a big new one that's like 800w like at fukk load it would be way under that
