Windows Server 2012 R2 on VirtualBox – Error 0x000000C4

Vardhan asked this question in a comment:
I have tried Windows Server 2012 R2 Preview on VirtualBox but fell over with 0x000000C4 error. Is there any remedy for this?

I got the same error message. It doesn’t matter if you install from the ISO or the VHD. You always get:
Your PC needs to restart.
Please hold down the power button.
Error code: 0x000000C4

The solution to the problem is this command:

1

“c:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe”

setextradata

[
vmname
]

VBoxInternal
/
CPUM
/
CMPXCHG16B

You have to replace vname with the name of your Virtual Machine which you can find in the VirtualBox interface or with this command:

1

“c:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe”

list
vms

Don’t forget to set the VM name in quotes if it contains blanks.
The command enables the CPU instruction CMPXCHG16B. More info here.
I tried it with the VHD of Windows Server 2012 R2 Preview and it with the ISO.
