I'm being forced to logout my VM's RDP because the VM is repeatedly rebooting. This is shortly after increasing the disk size and attempting to extend my C drive to the unallocated space. Today I also installed the AMD GPU drivers for our VM. Any one of these could be the issue. We need to rescue our VM, extend the C drive to our newly acquired space, and ensure that GPU drivers are installed so we can utilize these with PyTorch-DirectML.

Here are the steps which can help you find the cause of the issue- Enable "Boot Diagnostics" in the Azure portal to view screenshots or logs of the VM
- Go to the Azure portal and navigate to your VM's "Activity Log" to identify any errors or events causing the reboots.
- Check if the new disk size was done properly by going to Virtual Machine and click on "Disks" in the left-hand menu and see if it shows the new size.
- Uninstall AMD GPU drivers for VM to check if it was causing the issue.
