tested with a few A300M with 3400G: After installing HyperV Feature, the reboot of windows keeps failing.

When you disable virtualization support in BIOS, you can start up windows again, but ofc HyperV isnt usable.

Please advice.

I am experiencing this same issue with the Deskmini A300W

This is on a clean install of Windows 10 Pro 1903 with drivers installed.
Drivers used are those provided on the ASRock product support web page except for chipset and CPU/graphics drivers which are those provided on AMD's website.

CPU is Ryzen 3400G
RAM is DDR4 2666
SSD is Intel 660P 1TB NVMe
BIOS is latest as of this posting - v3.50

After installing the Hyper-V feature and restarting, Windows goes into a boot loop which results in entering recovery mode automatically after a couple failed boot attempts.
Disabling the option to automatically restart on system failure results in the system halting on a black screen indefinitely as it attempts to boot.
Using system restore in recovery mode to roll back to a point prior to the Hyper-V installation restores the system to functional.

Just an update here.
After using BlueScreenView to look over memory dumps generated from the system crashes during boot loop, I found that the crashes are related to the files, "dxgkrnl.sys" and "atikmpag.sys" - these files are related to directx and AMD display driver respectively.

I performed a clean install of Windows 10 Pro release 1903 on the system with no network connected to avoid automatic driver installation.
I performed the Hyper-V install and it completed successfully.
I was able to restart and launch Hyper-V.

At this point I connected the machine to the network/internet and, after a few moments, the screen went black and system crashed/restarted into recovery mode after a few more attempts to reboot.
I suspect the behavior that is occurring is a BSOD error but no image can be displayed on the screen when it occurs as it is the display driver that is failing.

Another update:
I have booted the machine into safe mode, entered "Device Manager," and manually changed the display driver from "AMD Radeon(TM) RX Vega 11 Graphics" to "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter."
After doing this, I was able to restart in normal mode successfully and launch Hyper-V Manager.

Hopefully this is something that AMD and/or Microsoft can fix soon with an update to the Vega display drivers or to Hyper-V.

I will post back here if I discover anything additional that can be helpful.

The technical support team from ASRock PMed me with a link to a firmware upgrade which fixed my issue.

I will paste the contents of their message here:
"Dear Markollides,

I have updated my bios to 3.60 but still have the same issue

1. I enabled svm from bios, then save it and restart
2. I enabled hyper-v in windows, then restart / shut down
I have tried both restart and shut down but I got the same result, it displayed black screen (the monitor had indicated if it had been connected to hdmi)

Then I forced it to off
I couldn't get into bios before pulling my nvme and plugging my windows media installer

Btw, thanks a lot for your response

the same issue happens on my deskmini.
I haven't noticed this page and already updated BIOS ver 3.60 from 3.50, so hesitate to downgrade BIOS to ver 3.53.(I don't know if BIOS can downgrade or not.)
ASRock, please help us.

thank you that update bios file worked for me, and successful installing Docker.

but i have another issue when i try to boot again, it goes black screen and need reset CMOS using 2 pin for booting normally, usually it's happened after your reboot / shutdown your pc and try turn on again.

My setup
- Ryzen 3400G
- 8GBx2 DDR4 2666 RAM
- AMD Graphic Driver v 19.10.2

I have the same issue
I believe the problem comes from the driver
I tried to install Ubuntu (dual boot with Windows) and I installed docker there and everything run without any issue

I hope Asrock fix this issue soon

Same problem on my end as well.

I enabled Hyper-V on Windows so I could set up Kubernetes. On reboot, it cycles through black screen, crash, reboot. Can't enter setup.

I had to short the CMOS. THEN I could get into setup and disable virtualization. Once I did that, I was able to boot Windows just fine. But it means that I don't have CPU virtualization.

Configuration:

- A300W (bios 3.50)
- Ryzen 3400g
- Windows 10 (Version 10.0.18362.720)
- Radeon v19.10.2


BlueScreenView shows it being caused by dxgkrnl.sys and the crash address is ntoskrnl.exe+1c2380.

As always, atikmpag.sys is showing up as a guilty party. I've had that thing BSOD me several times - even before enabling Hyper-V. This driver seems to cause a LOT of problems for a lot of people.

I'm working from home due to the pandemic so I can't really afford to risk my computer on a BIOS update or Radeon upgrade. Plus, it sounds like updating to 3.60 didn't fix the problem for others.

I'm having the same issue. Why is this post marked as Solved? Did someone discover a fix for the issue? Or is disabling the GPU driver considered a "solution"?

Hi,
I have the same issue.
New A300, updated bios to 3.6
3200G
Installed Hyper-V Server 2019, all went fine. Adjusted settings for Hyper-V like the hostname which needed a restart and now it boots into a black screen each time. No bios, or anything I can control. Looks like the keyboard is frozen too.

Why is this thread marked solved, this seems to still exist?

The issue is still here, I recommend everyone make a support ticket.

This is literally a faulty product as-is!

I found that if I change the UMA frame buffer size back to "Auto" then my system boots again with Hyper-V enabled.

Interesting, that didnt work for me.

NO MATTER

They just released a BETA with fix's for that as well as AGESA/Module updates to the 1.0.0.4B package.

Flashing tonight, testing till the weekend, then if all goes well updating clients systems, BETA or not...

Solved with new beta firmware 3.60H.
Hyper V, sandbox, Edge app guard all work fine.
Everyone who has similar problem, try new firmware.

This issue HAS NOT been fixed in firmware v3.70. At fist, I thought it had been. I enabled Virtualization in the BIOS and turned on the Virtual Machine Platform feature in Windows. Installed the Windows Subsystem for Linux. It seemed to be working.

Then, Windows crashed. Reboot. Black screen. I had to short the CMOS jumpers and disable Virtualization.

Configuration:

- A300W (bios 3.70)
- Ryzen 3400g
- Windows 10 Version 1909 (OS Build 1198)
- Radeon v20.2.2

I have not tried 3.60H Beta but I would have expected 3.70 to have included this fix since 3.60H supposedly fixes it.

I am not a fan of installing beta BIOSes but I may have no choice.

Update: I downgraded to 3.60K Beta and my system now seems to be able to support Virtual Machine Platform and Windows Subsystem for Linux in Windows 10 Enterprise.

(I had mistakenly referred to 3.60H in my previous post.)

I've rebooted my machine several times with no sign of the black screen issue. I ran Windows Subsystem for Linux v2 + Ubuntu 20.04 LTS yesterday for the entire afternoon with no problems.

Fingers crossed that I can set up Docker and Kubernetes.
