Hi.

I have a problem with Proxmox VE and Windows 2008 64 bit.
It sometimes hangs with a black screen and I cannot make other than stop and restart it.
Sometimes it hangs at startup too, and I see it with 104.00% of CPU used on Proxmox virtual machine configuration.
I don't have any error message in the Windows event viewer.

This is my pve pveversion-v output:

Code:
pve-manager: 1.8-18 (pve-manager/1.8/6070)
running kernel: 2.6.32-4-pve
proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 1.8-33
pve-kernel-2.6.32-4-pve: 2.6.32-33
qemu-server: 1.1-30
pve-firmware: 1.0-11
libpve-storage-perl: 1.0-17
vncterm: 0.9-2
vzctl: 3.0.28-1pve1
vzdump: 1.2-14
vzprocps: 2.0.11-2
vzquota: 3.0.11-1
pve-qemu-kvm: 0.14.1-1
ksm-control-daemon: 1.0-6

Could you help me please?

Thank you very much!
Bye.

Hi,
can you post your vm-config, please? (/etc/qemu-server/VMID.conf)

The "args" parameters are to let the installation of Windows 2008 which was an OEM version from HP that only installs on an HP hardware. That parameters let the virtual machine so seems an HP hardware, but I don't think they are the cause of the hangs of the virtual machine.

Hi,
looks normal, but can you try if the same happens with only one CPU/Core?
