Windows installation failed on HP prolaint with blue screen

Contents


For the long process of installing Windows Server, I believe most of people like me, we don’t sit there and wait. Recently I was trying to install Windows 2008 R2 on multiple HP Proliant Servers, and on every one of them, every time, the installation stop at this screen shows:
"The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows instlation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click "OK" to restart the computer, and then restart the installation"

At beginning, I was using SmartStart USB Key and Windows Installation ISO file on network. In days, I tried choosing different option while installing, different RAID configuration, booting with CD, installed on different Proliant Hardware, and end up booting from CD and install from CD. The problem still there. If you are reading this, you might got this problem too. Here is similar story I found online, and his solution worked for me.
