[Cesar Peschiera]

I did found several suggestions here:

  Sounds like a boot time RAM test... Though whether by the OS or the BIOS is hard to say. I tend not to let Windows have near that much RAM to play with.

    Description: NT Kernel & System

    All other processes are consuming 0% of CPU

      Any OS is composed of various processes.  You'll still have one process or another (or perhaps a small handful) responsible for the usage unless the boot process has not yet reached the OS.  In the case where the OS is not yet running, the virtualized hardware is to blame, most likely the BIOS.  Either way, the resolution requires knowledge of the cause, and that requires data about what is running inside the VM at the time.

        Hi Daniel

        Many thanks for answer me.

        The VM is newly installed, has no other program installed. But soon will
        should have MS-SQL server 2008 Standard installed.

        What can i do to fix my problem?

        What about inside the VM? It's expected that the VM itself will consume all
        CPU since that's the reported issue, and `/usr/bin/kvm` is the process the
        host runs the VM in.

        Many thanks for answer me.... :-)

        >What processes in the VM are hogging the CPU?
        htop is showing me that the process that consume all processor available is:
        /usr/bin/kvm/ -id 109 -chardev socket, id=qmp,
        path=/var/run/qemu-server/109.qmp, server,nowait.... etc (a line very long)

        But in my case, each line of "/usr/bin/kvm/ -id 109 ..." to 100% of consume
        of processor is repetitive for each core that i configured previously before
        of startup the VM.

        >Is the VM memory fixed or ballon allocated?
        Fixed, the VM has the ballon driver installed, but PVE don't have this
        option enabled, and PVE have only a VM installed and nothing more.
