Windows 10 standalone crashing frequently

I installed Windows 10 in a standalone qube using the Win10_22H2_English_x64 iso provided by Microsoft and using the install instructions here. The qube has 2 CPUs and 8192 MB RAM not memory balanced and a 60GB of system storage. I’m getting frequent blue screen crashes. I have a 10th gen Intel CPU so I set the split_lock_detect=off in grub cmdline. This helped some but I still get crashes every 10 minutes or so.

Can anyone help with this? I notice Windows shows an unidentified PCI device with no driver. I’m not sure what it might be since Qubes doesn’t say what virtual hardware it is emulating. I also have some dump files which indicate the OS is running out of memory, which is strange because when I monitor RAM usage with taskman it never goes higher than 2GB. Here is some data from windbg

So, it launches Windows for how lomg before crashing?

Around 10 minutes, though it has gone as long as 30 once or twice.

Sorry for the late reply. Probably irrelevant now, but just allocate more RAM.
