Hi, I've noticed lately that most reboots after installation take significantly longer than I would expect (even taking into account that reboot after install won't have the normal decreased boot time associated with win8.1). Given how simply turning off a booting system is one of the few remaining ways to mess up an operating system install I would suggest waiting much longer than five minutes before assuming that the reboot is hung. My jaws upgrade took close to that today and I've had a few MS updates take more than 20 minutes after reboot, but the point is that the system did eventually come around.
