I have a 7900x on which I use igpu and RX7800XT as dgpu (use for AI work) and
motherboard ASUS ProArt X670E-CREATOR. That being said, I actively use
virtualization.
When disabling VLS and even disabling nested virtualization completely, my host
kept rebooting unpredictably. That is, no advice from this thread helped me.
As a result, I disabled igpu in BIOS and enabled nested virtualization and VLS.
With this configuration the reboots continued. But after disabling VLS the
reboots disappeared and now the PC works without fail.
I can assume that the problem with VLS and the use of igpu may be somehow
related.

It would be very interesting to know if this problem is present on Ryzen 9000.
