Hello,

This morning I discovered a Windows 2008R2 VM crashed and sitting at a blue screen. This VM is configured as HA. It was running on host vmserver4. There are two other hosts in this cluster.

I attempted to reset/stop/shutdown the VM from the GUI, which was unsuccessful, the VM kept running. I also ssh'd into the host and tried using qm stop vmid, which was also unsuccessful.

Eventually, I found the PID of the VM, using: `ps -aux |grep "/usr/bin/kvm"` and did a: `kill -9 PID`, which did kill off the VM.

I then attempted to start the VM from the GUI at 8:49:00 am .

The host server that was running the VM became unresponsive. Shortly after I received a fencing email, and discovered that the host server had rebooted. All of the VM's were restarted automatically on other hosts in the cluster.
Attached is a snip of the host log around the time that I was working on it and the reboot. There doesn't seem to be any idication as to why it crashed.

All hosts on cluster are up to date, PVE Manager Version is 5.1-36/131401db

Would appreciate any help in figuring out why the host rebooted.
