Thanks for the answer, it makes sense. Though not an optimal fix for trying to use PXE on bare metal machines that may have either an x86 or x64 image applied. Grrr. Certainly appreciate finally getting an answer though, been a frustrating couple of weeks trying to solve it on my own.

Our solution was to switch from an x86 boot image to x64. We had a case open with Microsoft as well and they filed it as a bug. See attached for a little detail.

Right after the image install and driver injection (even if the driver package is completely blank), if the system has more than 4GB of RAM it will reboot and start up like it’s going to configure devices and then the screen goes black and hangs. Same process with 4GB or less of RAM and task sequence completes without problem. Disable the driver package injection step and it also completes with the greater amount of RAM. I’ve recreated the driver packages and updated BIOS to latest, no change. Hopefully someone else has seen this and it’s a stupidly simple fix that I’m missing.
