Windows 8 BSOD while installing an OS on a new virtual machine

[gladston3]

Hello,

I am facing BSODs/freezes while attempting to install a Windows 8.1 on a virtual machine. The Hyper-V host is running Windows Server 2012. I posted in the Windows 8 forum since there is a specialised BSOD area and the architecture is more or less the same.

When I investigated the error I realized that it happened before during the night. Unfortunately I was unable to figure out the cause with google. So maybe anyone here can help me. I attached all the requested files. If you need anything else, please just let me know

Thank you very much in advance

Hi,
most of your dump files are like the one above apart from one or two Bugcheck A which kinda means the same as above that a process wasn't completed correctly. This could have been caused by either a component or drivers for that component.
One thing that I noticed almost straight away was how old your Bios is.
BiosVersion = 0605
BiosReleaseDate = 10/06/2011
Latest Bios Version 4701 2014/07/28
Please update to the latest bios:

Please ensure I have the correct motherboard and download.

Your system drivers are also in need of updating. Luckily the motherboard support section has all the latest drivers:
http://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards/P9X79/HelpDesk_Download/

I also noticed that this process was running during one of the bsod's:
Link Removed
Is it possible to update this app or re-install in case of corruption?

Post any new dump files.

Hello,

first of all, thank you for your answer. Today I found time to update the bios to the neweset stable version. Unfortunately I also got another two BSODs in the meantime (one occured before the update, one afte the update). I attached the new ones. At the moment I am thinking about reinstalling the Hyper-V completely. It just would be nice to know if it is a hardware problem or not... Is there any chance to find that out?

Cheers gladston3

Probably caused by : memory_corruption ( ONE_BIT )

Hi,
Bugcheck 1A This indicates that a severe memory management error occurred. It could be driver related or some RAM may be faulty. Please use the the link I gave above and update the drivers specified on the motherboard support page.
If after making the above changes you still get the bsod then you need to test your RAM.
Windows does have it's own memory testing app but it can often miss errors and the best app for the job is Memtest86. The latest version of which can be found here:
http://www.memtest.org/

To run Memtest86 you need to either burn a copy of it to disk or use a USB stick. If you look down the page you'll eventually find the latest version and it's associated downloads. If your burning to disk choose the pre-compiled iso zip. If your using a USB method then the corresponding download is the auto installer for a USB stick.
Once you have Memtest86 on the media you selected you'll then need to enter your bios and change the boot order so that the machine will boot from either the disk or stick you have Memtest86 on.
Try and run the test overnight if possible unless it becomes clear that there is a issue. If there is a problem with the RAM you'll see the errors pop up in red so you can't miss them.
