I was running the Avoton board with 16GB of Kingston ECC SODIMMs and everything was fine.
I then installed 32GB of SK Hynix RAM, part #HMT41GA7BFR8A-PB, which is the exact 8GB module that's qualified by SuperMicro on their page. Hyper-V Server either freezes hard at the spinner, at the CTRL-ALT-DELETE screen, or it gets far enough that it lets me log in and do a few things with powershell. In all cases, it freezes hard - no BSOD, no logs.
My first thought was bad modules, so I ran memtest86 which reported 0 errors. I booted a CentOS Livecd and had a play around - no issues there.
I tried taking it back down to 16GB swapping modules around and everything was fine again with Hyper-V server. I'm back to 32GB now, and ran "Windows Memory Diagnostic" before booting - crashed again.
Any ideas as to what's going on here? I'm going to try mixing the Kingston modules in with the SK Hynix modules next...
