Hi there.

As above. First and foremost i am really enjoying using proxmox so much so ive got 2 servers now (totally independant) so that my critical stuff i want running (pihole and Home assistant) are not disturbed. The 2nd server is a Dell Precision Compact with a 12gb A2000 card in there, 64gb of memory and a 12th gen core i5, as its not being used 24/7 now i will probably go up to a 13th gen core i7.....anyway...the problem.

Did a clean build, set up the gpu (by the way another time but ive never been able to get good frame rates remoting in) - but the old build did work fine - i only had to format as when i tried to cluster the 2 everything stopped working....a couple of people tried to help but they were above my level of knowledge so i backed up my vm's and rebuilt the pair of them. The optiplex 3050 is working fine. Ive enabled the onboard Intel GPU and thats working ok...so all happy there.

Did the same thing on the Precision but if i add the gpu to the windows 11 vm the vm starts (green triangle) but i cant remote into it...i cant shut the vm down so have to reboot the whole server, remote the gpu and it starts working again. So, not really sure where to start...i did think about flattening it again but thought id ask first...

Cheers to anyone that tries to delve in!!!
 
So, ive fixed my problem but ive no idea how...reformatted - went through the gpu walkthrough....now working...as i say no idea why as im pretty sure i did it all the same!!
