HP Recommended
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Installing Hyper-V causes frequent black screen of death, requiring a hard power down and restart.

 

This looks to be caused by an AMD platform limitation.  Hyper-V requires at least 1 GB of RAM be allocated to the GPU.  However, the BIOS only allows selecting 256 MB, 512 MB, or Auto (which defaults to 512 MB).

 

This link to Lenovo regarding the same AMD chipsets explains it a bit better.

Am I out of luck until HP releases an updated BIOS?
