I am on Arch as well, using a customized kernel using the vfio patchset (in this case 4.13.11). I was having the same issue as you guys, where my Windows 10 VM with an NVIDIA card passed in was getting the CRITICAL_STRUCTURE_CORRUPTION blue screen error message after running for a while. Usually I saw this when hitting some form of memory (GPU or system RAM), and it was quick (~3 hours) to crash while mining on the GPU (as that hits the GPU memory hard).

It looks like what Jimi said above about swap seeming to be a contributing factor seems to be correct. I have disabled swap on my host and have seen no instability thus far.

Windows 7 also may be seeing similar issues, though it was just crashing though without displaying an error as far as I could see. This VM has an AMD card in it. Same goes for it, where it also has not crashed after more than a day after disabling swap.
