Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Black Startup Screen / won't boot

-

i installed windows 2008 r2 sp1 , rebooted server , fine , came expected.  server hp bl460c.  downloaded , installed latest proliant support pack blade , installed , rebooted.  going @ point.  downloaded latest hp firmware cd , ran on server.  ran without error asked reboot normal after running firmware cd.  server not boot.  goes through post part , gives quick 1-2 seconds of startup progress bar of 2008 r2 goes blank black screen.

the server still boots fine safe mode , safe mode networking, not normal boot.

i saw kb microsoft has problem black screen startup problems.  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/981275

this seems may problem occured after firmware update.  states corrected in sp1 , therefore system should have fix problem.  info reading hotfix being part of sp1 incorrect?  if how server boot install hotfix since can't install things in safe mode?

what steps should take next?  call hp support or microsoft support or wipe , re-install?  1 node out of 6 node cluster hoping don't have re-install.

thanks,

dan

 

log on safe mode , remove installed firmaware/drivers again boot in normal mode , check behaviour and if servers critical please donot hesistate call microsfot resolve problem possible.

(i need prevent sleeping while plugged in - it's set 1 hour) thanks! allen crist i found site: http://gpsearch.azurewebsites.net/#7916 i able add policy to hkey_local_machine\software\policies\microsoft\power using specs found on site. looks solved issue. i'll report if didn't. thanks! allen crist ...
