Windows 8 freezes on startup when intel VT-d is enabled
- by John Nevermore
I don't know what to make of this situation:
Windows 8 freezes after about 3 seconds after booting to the log in screen.
The only way i have been able to avoid the freeze, is if i set
VT-d disabled
VT-d enabled, but Nvidia drivers uninstalled (running on integrated graphics)
VT-d enabled, Nvidia drivers installed, Hyper-V feature enabled
My goal is to get Windows 8 running with VMWare (ie. Hyper-V has to stay disabled), VT-d and the latest NVidia drivers.
Specs:
32 GB of ram
Intel Core i7-2760QM
NVidia Quadro 1000M
Intel 520 SSD 480GB
Maybe somebody has experience with this kind of a situation ?
