virt-manager keeps dropping connection to libvirt

I've been trying to work with virt-manager but the problem is, it randomly keeps losing connection to libvirt. This hasnt happened until recently

Here is the message I get:

Error polling connection 'qemu:///system': internal error: client socket is closed

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 385, in _handle_tick_queue
    conn.tick_from_engine(**kwargs)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 1319, in tick_from_engine
    raise e  # pylint: disable=raising-bad-type
libvirtError: internal error: client socket is closed

What is happening?
