Where do I start troubleshooting this windows VM?

Hey all, I play league of legends, for a few hours, every couple months, but I don't really use the RTX 2070 for anything when I'm in arch linux, so I pass it through to a windows VM. I've distro hopped a bit in the past 2 years and have landed on Arch for a while now. When I've gone to create the VM, almost exactly as I have before, mostly following arch wiki, and this one github guide I like for some of the commands I don't have memorizied, I found insanely slow disk speeds. I was using raw images, from an empty spare ssd. I decided instead of doing that, I'll pass through the whole SSD, following the archwiki. Now what happens is an incredibly smooth experience, for up to 15 minutes, at which point the VM freezes, I can leave for an hour, and it'll still be frozen. The only solution is to "destroy" the vm from arch, and then start it back up, but it will freeze again. I thought, you know what, I'll just boot windows up from the bios. A few days later, I wanted to fix the VM, so I first tried to start it up, it starts up, according to virsh output, but I don't ever get any display output. Interestingly, it still booted from the bios. So I reformatted the windows drive, and the same events took place. It would freeze, I restarted a few times, no dice. I booted it from the bios, and now it's inaccessible as a VM. I'm making sure that I restart when leaving windows so that it doesn't do the read only stuff with the hibernation file, so I know that's not the cause for it being unable to boot as a VM.
I know I should provide some kind of log, but I could use guidance on what log.

MOBO: ASUS Z690-A
CPU: i5-12600k
SSD: Samsung 970EVO
GPU(integrated graphics from cpu)
GPU(Runs the VM): EVGA RTX 2070
