Disk controller and network card are virtio devices with drivers from https://launchpad.net/kvm-guest-drivers-windows/+download (virtio-win-drivers-20120712-1.iso). +Everything worked fine until I changed disk controller cache from the default (writethrough) to writeback. This introduced occasional blue screens. I noticed that they are linked to high disk IO. For example restoring over 1GB of backup files will results in a blue screen on around 4 out of 5 attempts. Also Windows update crashes the system sometimes.
