I am currently trying to passthrough my NVIDIA Quadro M2000 GPU to an Ubuntu virtual machine to transcode for plex. Everything on the server boots fine, but as soon as I start up the VM with the GPU passthrough, my entire server crashes and I have to reboot. I followed these commands from this tutorial and this tutorial, but everything still crashes as soon as I boot up the VM.
 
For anyone that comes across this, turns out the error was that I gave the VM all of the ram of my server and that caused it to crash. All I had to do to fix it was lower the amount of ram the VM was using (i.e. 16 GiB --> 8 GiB)
