An update on my progress. I powered off the PC and reseated the video card and re-hooked the power cables. After another try with all the settings below out of the XML, i was able to get it to boot ok. No idea if the error 43 will return, but my last 2 test boots have gone OK.
I have tried putting each of the below settings back into the XML, one at a time. Any one of these lines will cause the VM to fail to boot, and then reboot in windows repair mode. Not sure what i can do about that. Again, i don't use “-cpu host,kvm=off” anywhere. I was never really clear on where to put that setting at anyway. Does anyone think i should be using it? My next problem i want to tackle is my audio issues. I am using the HDMI audio from the Nvidia card. It will sometimes cut out for a split second for no reason, maybe once every 5 to 10 seconds. Also sometimes during games I will hear a quick "tearing" noise. The setting i tried to put back into the XML file = <relaxed state='on'/> <vapic state='on'/> <spinlocks state='on' retries='8191'/> <timer name='hypervclock' present='yes'/> On Sat, Jun 11, 2016 at 5:25 PM, David <david...@gmail.com> wrote: > OK, here we go.
