Hi All, Currently, I have been running the computer fine for the last month when I have Virtualization disabled on MOBO and I am not running Hyper-V. I am using this computer just for gaming now and have no issues. I believe the issue will return once I do enable Virtualization. I will try it this weekend and provide updates. Kind regards, Ken

I thought the same, that it may be a hardware issue. I removed each piece of hardware one at a time and tried to boot but still got BSOD. Removed everything until only 1 8gb stick of ram was left but still getting BSOD. Recovery options do not work and it will loop endlessly with BSOD.

I can't get into the OS after BSOD. Can't recover from it when it happens

Sorry, this is the first PC build I've ever done. What are USB lanes and how do I check if I have enough? Usually when I run into this issue, I can't boot into the OS at all. Not even in safe mode. I will check in the BIOS if I have turned off the onboard graphics. Maybe that's what is conflicting?

Yeah but that stop code can mean a number of things. When I look at the event logs, it doesn't give me anything specific. Something along the lines of "Windows experienced an unexpected shutdown due to power loss, a crash, or etc etc." After BSOD I would disconnect all peripherals and even remove the GPU and the extra RAM stick. Still no luck. Doesn't seem to be a hardware issue, probably software (installing something from SteamVR?) Maybe its conflicting drivers?

Yeah it does support virtualization

Hi All! This is my first time posting here but I was hoping someone out there would have some information on the issue I am having. I have a custom built gaming desktop with the following hardware: ASUS Z170I PRO GAMING LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 FE DirectX 12 ZT-P10800A-10P 8GB 256-Bit GDDR5X PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready SLI Support ... Intel Core i7-6700K Skylake Quad-Core 4.0 GHz LGA 1151 91W BX80662I76700K Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics ... G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000) Intel X99 Platform Extreme ... Crucial MX300 2.5" 525GB SATA III 3-D Vertical Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT525MX300SSD1 CORSAIR CS-M Series CS550M 550W 80 PLUS GOLD Active PFC Haswell Ready ATX12V & EPS12V Modular Power Supply My goal is to enable virtualization on my MOBO for the purpose of running Hyper-V. I would build my computer with a clean install of Windows 10, do all Windows Updates, update all the drivers for the GTX 1080. And when I run the HTC VIVE setup, I would get a BSOD during the setup (specifically when the drivers for the Head Gear itself is installing) OR I would get a BSOD the next time I reboot/boot my computer. The BSOD does not give an error code or stop code, just a sad face. It would then prompt me to "Restore" to an earlier point. This will work 50% of the time and when it restores to an earlier point, it would be a point before Steam VR is installed. Other times it would loop in diagnosing the error and not being able to resolve it. When this happens, I cannot boot into safe mode, cannot do a repair, and cannot recover from this. It would loop in a BSOD and have no actual stop code or error code. When viewing the event log, the error I get is error 0x0 "your computer unexpectedly shut down due to a crash, power loss, or error" ***paraphrasing*** My computer works fine if I have virtualization enable on the MOBO and running Hyper-V with multiple VMs My computer works fine if I do not have virtualization enabled on the MOBO and running my HTC VIVE VR system There always seems to be an issue if I have both configured at the same time. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
