@Elias I think I encountered this issue too, without error logs it's hard to be sure though, but by the description it sounds a lot like it. Another user in another Qubes 4 Win7 thread somewhere in Qubes-users mail-list, suggested to reduce the page-file for Windows SWAP inside the Windows VM. It worked for him, and when I tried it out, it worked for me too. It's possible this is what you encounter, try reduce the Windows page-file and see if it works? Also if not reducing the page-file, more giving the VM more RAM works too, but it's a lot of wasting resources, especially on low RAM hardware. For example I have to give Win7 4GB RAM when I did not change the page-file in Windows. When it has 3GB or 3.5GB, then it crashes like your description. Once the page file has been reduced, counter-intuitively the RAM can now be 2.5GB without any crash so far. It seems a bit odd since the page-file SWAP should only be related to the drive space, but the relation between host VM allocated RAM, and guest drive SWAP page-file, somehow, indeed seems to be related to each others... I lack the understanding ,but it seems very counter-intuitive to me, yet it still worked. Hopefully this can fix your crash issues. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-devel" group.
