Internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor

[hysel]

Hi

I am trying to setup both a Windows and Linux VM, when I start the machines, I am getting the following error:

[EFAULT] internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: 2022-03-04T13:55:51.896586Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device ide-cd,bus=sata0.0,drive=libvirt-2-format,id=sata0-0-0,bootindex=1: Failed to lock byte 100

Here is my system setup:

• AMD Ryzen 9 5900x
• ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero with Bios version 4004
• 128GB RAM 2666MHz
• LSI Broadcom SAS 9300-8i 8-port 12Gb/s SATA+SAS PCI-Express 3.0 Low Profile Host Bus Adapter
• 10Gb SFP+ PCI-E Network Card NIC, with Broadcom BCM57810S Chip
• GPU 1: Nvidia GT710 - Main card where my external screen is connected to
• GPU 2: Nvidia Quadro P400

I tried multiple settings like:

1. Not selecting any GPU
2. Changing the GPU isolation settings to either one of the GPUs or none of them
3. Selecting/De-selecting the "Ensure Display Device" checkbox
4. Selecting/De-selecting the "Hide from MST" checkbox

But nothing seems to works

Honestly, I don't want to do any Passthrough to my windows machine, I want to keep it simple

What am missing here?

Thanks in advance
