PE1900 Windows Server 2008 setup "computer restarted unexpectedly" error
I have this weird issue when installing Windows Server 2008 x64, after the 1st reboot it blue screens, then reboots again and setup gives this error message:
The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows Installation cannot proceed. To install Window, click OK to restart the computer, and then restart the installation.
Windows 2003 and Vista install fine. I have installed the latest BIOS for PE2900.
Anyone have any idea?

1. What HBAs are installed in the system and which slots?
2. What does the blue screen message say? (i.e. STOP ERROR???)
3. Is there any readout on the LCD display or BMC logs?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. It does not have HBA's. I also dont know what the BSOD is, cause it reboot immediatly. I'll try to see if ERD commander will work in this phase of installation so I can check the dmp.
I'll also check the LCD next try.
I read on another forum that it might have something to do with RAM, I tried two types of RAM, 2x 512 @ 633Mhz and 2x 2GB @ 533 Mhz. Both end with same result.
Thanks
Steven
