Cant get Virtual machine to boot after doing PCI passthrough

so first of all hi everyone :slight_smile:
im kinda new to linux I mostly used windows till now and dabbled in a little hackintoshing nothing too major

anyways im hoping someone can help me get my virtual machine to finish creating and boot up
I followed the guide on youtube by someordinarygamers called “how i built the poor-shamed” computer
referencing the guide he references in the video description to be sure im doing it properly

everything seemed to go perfectly

for the most part I have it all down iommu is all set and ready pci passthrough sorted all is detected and such but when it comes to building the vm I get an error along the lines of

warning: host doesn’t support requested feature: MSR(48FH).vmx-exit-load-perf-global-ctrl [bit 12]

the rig itself is an i5 8th gen 8600k and an nvidia geforce gtx 1060 6GB im attempting to install windows 10 as well

in the pci passthrough there are a few to choose from relating to the xhci controller USB intel processor and the bottom two which are both NVIDIA ive selected those two as he picks just the gpu in the video and the audio from the gpu so I did the same

hope this info helps and someone can help me get past the last hurdle to get my vm’s up and running :smiley:

Thanks all

Edit: fixed it

good news figured out what was wrong!
turns out in the bios I had CSM and intel TPP both enabled

not entireley sure which one was the trouble maker but for others with the same problem as this check the bios for these settings

CSM set to off/disabled secure boot off in my case or you get a certificate error booting from manjaro
Intel TPP (or amd equivalent if they have it) set to off/disabled
I also had to manually set topology but after that I was good to go

seem to be struggling with the windows side of it now despite the gpu showing and Drivers “installing” nothing actually installs or changes
despite this it does recognise a gtx 1060 6gb in device manager with a warning triangle

will post this to the main question as a kind of answer see if i help anyone with it and hopefully save them some time getting a solution

You’ll get better help on this topic if you go to /r/VFIO.

They also have a detailed Wiki.
