Enabling Hyper-V prevents host restarting

Hi Ive installed a 2008 Server host running Hyper-V on an ABIT35-PRO
motherboard. The machine shutsdown fine and will restart if Hyper-V role is
not installed but as soon as I install the role the machine will not restart
- it stops all services and shuts down but then hangs with all the fans still
running and the screen blank. If I shut it down it shuts down fine even with
the role installed. Has anyone else seen this issue or can anyone suggest
what to try to resolve it - I'd like to be able to restart the machine
remotely if possible?
Many Thanks
Roger.

Re: Enabling Hyper-V prevents host restarting

Have you positively confirmed that this MB and the BIOS support Hyper-V from
a hardware perspective? How about BIOS updates from ABIT?

Hope this helps,

Re: Enabling Hyper-V prevents host restarting

The motherboard supports hardware virtualisation and this is enabled. I tried
a bios update and ended up having to replace the bios chip so dont want to
try that route again for now. I thought I'd try the MS forums before asking
ABIT.
