I am installing a 2008R2 standard edition server on a hyper-v running on a server 2012R2 standard. Every time I install the server I am getting the following error, followed by a restart which causes a blue-screen.
- I have set the server to set memory, 4096MB.
- I've redownloaded the ISO, and rebooted the server.
- I've tried the steps from http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-system/error-message-the-computer-restarted-unexpectedly/b770f14d-e345-e011-90b6-1cc1de79d2e2
The only thing I can find in the event viewer is:
But this seems unrelated. And I doubt I can resolve it untill the OS is fully installed.
What could I be dealing with? I'm inclined to think corrupt memory in the host server, but I'm not entirely familiar with Hyper-V and would like some alternatives before reviewing hardware.
I switched to using en_windows_server_2008_r2_with_sp1_x64_dvd.iso and this version succeded in installing.
Perhaps I made a mistake and used my old copy of en_windows_server_2008_r2_standard_enterprise_datacenter_and_web_with_sp1_debug_checked_build_x64_dvd after downloading a fresh ISO. Or something happened on both downloads...
Regardless, the issue was with the ISO, and downloading a different one fixed it.
