I’m using an ESXi 7.0 hypervisor, pass an A40 GPU through Windows Server 2019 virtual machine, and I’m trying to run the GPU in graphics mode.

I’ve refrenced Ray Tracing support unavailable on Windows Server 2022 with 3 NVidia A40 GPUs and tried data center driver version of 537.13 and 474.44.

But after I switched to WDDM mode with the help of nvidia-smi utility, the host crashed during reboot.
The error code indicates a

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
