Hyper-V 2012 host freezing hard

i have test platform, based on consumer mainboard , intel core i3 cpu. changing not choice.

this 1 worked wonderful server 2008 r2, including hyper-v role. until tried install server 2012 upgrade. @ first reboot during installation system stopped single window logo on screen - , rollback bring machine again.

ok, incompatibilities old drivers or such thought , performed clean install. went well. system performing great , waiting jobs. after adding hyper-v role following reboot again ended in frozen startup logo. safe mode still working, attempt remove hyper-v role here failed (the wizard did not move on after unselecting role).

so have useless server 2012 machine , choice go windows server 2008 r2 or find way server 2012 , running again on platform - hyper-v.

any ideas causing behavior , how fix it?

hi,

i have same setup , had same problem when upgrading server 2008 r2 hyper-v 2012 hyper-v or when doing clean install of 2012 hyper-v.

for me solution disable azalia codec in bios.

now starts fine.

have not tested further yet not sure if there other issues have got past boot lockup.
