[PVE-User] Host Rebooting when using PCIe Passthrough

[Craig Jones]

Just wanted to follow through on this.

I took the NIC out and was still having reboots. I swapped the GPU with 
a different one and have not had anymore reboots. Hopefully this remains 
when I add a NIC back, but the resolution was swapping the card. There's 
something funky with the original GPU I was using.

Thanks for the suggestions!
