Windows Server 2012 R2 Infinite Reboot on Install
When installing Windows Server 2012 R2 from a boot disk (created from an ISO) both a USB and a DVD version the install goes into an infinite reboot. This occurs right after "loading files" or the part immediately after "press any key to install from..." with the white bar at the bottom that has 2 phases the second much slower than the first.
The new blue logo appears and then an immediate reboot occurs. My licensing does not allow an upgrade and I cannot do a bare metal either. It may be hardware but the specs are well within the minimums. It should at least install.
I am trying a GUI install.
Any ideas?

By the way a bare metal install of 2008 r2 is no problem from a DVD made as little as 6 months ago. Leaving it here is again a licensing issue so I must move up.
I did try an upgrade again licensing. No go. Must be bare metal or not sure what it is called when it makes it a windows.old
Doing the upgrade I get much further in the process. Until I am told no.

I used the DVD on different hardware and the install started fine. I know there are different stages in an install and this particular point may point to where the issues lie in the hardware. I have tried a BIOS upgrade and I have some firmware upgrades I can do but some more specific information would be helpful if we can find it.
Thanks
