Hi Zir,

The guest machine is a Windows 10 machine that I upgrade it months ago from
Windows 8.1 machine. My monitor starts to display something when the blue
Windows Logo and the circling dots appear. It seems like it is running in
secondary VGA passthrough mode but there is only my GPU that is listed on
the Device Manager's Display Adapters.

This is the output of the GPU's rom using Alex's rom-parser script.

Valid ROM signature found @0h, PCIR offset 1a0h

Thank you.
