VMs cannot boot after host suspend

Hello

I am using libvirtd/qemu/kvm, and I can run all VMs just fine, but if I suspend my host machine, and after I wake it up, VMs stop working.
If a VM was running before suspend, that will be running just fine after too..

But during boot a linux VM will get a kernal panic, in BIOS mode.

 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task! 

If the VM is running in UEFI most, I suspect the same thing is happening, but it is just shown by being stuck at the tiano core splash screen.
A windows VM goes into BSoD.

The image below is a VM trying to boot Arch Live ISO

The image below is my xubuntu VM that normally runs just fine, trying to boot after a host suspend

I am not sure where to find any logs, the ones I know have showed nothing wrong.
I have also tried stopping all my libvirt daemons before suspending and starting them after, it gives me the same result.
