It just spits that out and stops working every few hours. I am planning on buying another pi to run HA OS on it without the VM but in the meantime this is annoying. If it helps vb says its bootign to slot B

What causes it?

#

if i send a shutdown sgnal it shuts off fine it just will not respond to anything so long as its running.

What hypervisor do you use?

Let me rephrase that. Which software do you use to run the VM and on which OS? VirtualBox is known to cause that, for example.
The hardware and VM settings might be good to know too.

i just haven't turned it on because it didn't throw an error when i tried, it's on a 10600KF

#

this is just an old PC i use as a windows server to do windows things on

You should really enable virtualization support in the UEFI. Otherwise you're emulating which is extremely slow and can cause issues.

Windows also has a built in hypervisor, hyperv which may work better than vbox (haven't used Windows for virtualization in a long time )
