Hi Folks,

I am getting VIDEO_DXGKRNL_FATAL_ERROR error when i do load test like Passmark
This is very random, 90% time this error happens with in the first test.

Note: If i switch to KVM64/QEMU 64 this crash does not happen strangely


My Hardware/Software

AMD 5900X
32GB DDR4 RAM @ 3200MHZ (XMP)
1TB SSD
2 X NVIDIA 1080
X570 GIGABYTE AORUS PRO (LATEST BIOS 2023)

Bios:

SR-IOV - ENABLED
4G DECODING - DISABLED
CSM - ENABLED

Host:
ZFS (with Arc Memory limit to 2GB)
5.15.108-1-pve
Proxmox 7.4-16


VM:
Windows 10 PRO (latest updated)


Here is my Config

agent: 1,type=virtio
balloon: 0
bios: ovmf
boot: order=sata0
cores: 8
cpu: host,hidden=1
cpuunits: 10000

ostype: win10

sockets: 1
vga: none
vmgenid: f345cc23-e6ad-486e-8783-c909092232c1


Things i have tried

1. Fresh Windows
2. Safe Boot DDU + STUDIO Driver
3. MSI Interrupt
4. Moved to SATA/RLTK instead of VFIO Drivers
5. kvm=off and -hypervisor in host


Nothing seems to work at all


Please help, need to run things in host mode for the best performance i need.

Hello,


Can you check if there is any new available version of the GPU driver on the Windows side?
 
could you upload the result of journalctl -b > journal.txt
 
@Moayad I used the latest studio driver, further, i have made a clean uninstall using DDU and tried latest game driver 538 and still the same

PFA the log

Update: Sometimes i randomly get host reboot or sometimes vm reboot with CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED BSOD

Thank you for the logs!

Code: 
Aug 07 15:27:53 myproxmoxserverkernel: vfio-pci 0000:09:00.0: No more image in the PCI ROM
Aug 07 15:27:55 myproxmoxserverkernel: vfio-pci 0000:09:00.0: No more image in the PCI ROM
Aug 07 15:27:55 myproxmoxserverkernel: vfio-pci 0000:09:00.0: No more image in the PCI ROM

The next step I would set up the ROM file [0] to the VM.

I dont know it it related but there were also a lot of memory errors. Maybe it would be worth to double check your ram and memtest it
 
I encountered the exact same issue. My Windows 10 vm recently started experiencing random BSOD(VIDEO_DXGKRNL_FATAL_ERROR). It had been running smoothly for the past three weeks. I tried various methods, including reinstalling Windows 10, attempting Windows 11, and passing the VBIOS ROM file, but the problem persisted. It wasn't until I came across your post that I tried changing the CPU from "host" to "kvm64," and miraculously, the issue was resolved.

After numerous attempts, I discovered a method that consistently triggered the BSOD: exporting the GPU's VBIOS using GPU-Z. Every time I confirmed the export, the system would BSOD.

Furthermore, I observed an unusual behavior. GPU-Z would show the UEFI status as "enabled" only the first time it was opened. Upon closing and reopening GPU-Z, the UEFI status would become "disabled." Additionally, a few seconds after opening GPU-Z, the bus interface information would change from "PCIe x16 3.0" to "PCI."
open GPU-Z first time

open GPU-Z again:

Switching the CPU from "host" to "kvm64" resolved the above issues. GPU-Z now correctly displays UEFI status and bus interface and won't change.

I hope this promblem can be fixed someday. Here is some of my system information for reference:

Same here with AMD 5950X. No problem on a Intel 9th Gen CPU or KVM CPU. So the problem is somewhere with AMD CPUs?
