Why does windows sometimes freeze with virtualization enabled after installing docker?

Question

Virtualization

Lenovo Y500, i7-3630QM, 16GB DDR3, 2x Nvidia 650M, SSD 512GB, Windows (clean install)

If you enable virtualization and install docker, the computer starts to freeze at different intervals. The hang ends with a BSOD or very rarely hangs and writes "video driver stopped responding". Most often this happens when working with video, for example: skype broadcast, screen recording, video rendering, 3d max, games... but the freeze can also happen in idle.

If you disable the docker, then the hang is still there, only disabling virtualization in the BIOS helps. (UPD: even if you turn off the docker, the docker virtual machine still works, if you turn it off, then everything is OK - the problem is not in the docker itself, but in the presence of an active virtual machine)

The SSD is new (UPD Not quite new anymore) and the smart is normal, no operative errors were found, the video cards are also in order,
there is no overheating.

I wrote to representatives: Lenovo was asked if the laptop and silence were under warranty, I'm still waiting for an answer. Microsoft and nvidia are throwing arrows at each other.

I tried to install Ubuntu - it worked fine for a day - it means it's not in the hardware but in the system, but I'm not ready to switch to linux. On the forums they wrote that crashes are due to memory access errors ... due to some kind of conflict between microsoft and nvidia.
Anyone who has the same problem but not a laptop can check without a video card or with a video card from AMD?

There is still hope for Win11, but I haven't tested it yet. UPD: Not anymore, the bug remains.

Perhaps enabling VT-d in the BIOS partially helps

Answer 1

Same problem on PC (motherboard GA-H77M-D3H, i5 3470, GTX1050, 16GB DDR3, SSD). Virtualization is needed, because I work with Hyper-V all the time. When off lag virtualization is not observed. As soon as I turn on virtualization, lags begin even when watching streaming video. Especially often it lags when the torrent downloads something. The problem is both on the drivers found by Windows and on the motherboard manufacturer's drivers. There is something abnormal in the top 10 ...) They scored on the old (but quite working) iron. Or forced to switch to a new one.

Answer 2

Did you manage to solve the problem? It’s just that as a rule, docker is needed to work, and without it it’s almost unrealistic, how to be apart from working in the cloud.
Exactly the same problem on the desktop: motherboard Asus Prime B350M-A, percent. i5 7500, 32 GB DDR4, 256 GB NVMe SSD, MSI NVidia 1660 super 6G
100% dependent on Hyper-V enabled in the BIOS, analyzed logs and generally what he did when it hung.
Most often, before freezing, the computer disconnects and connects the 3.5 jack headphone port, the panel pops up that the connector is disconnected, and then immediately connected again. Often when you type the cursor just freezes, then sometimes hangs sometimes BSOD.
