Boot media locks up on new hardware

Thread needs solution

I have tried the boot media created from Acronis True Image 2013 and the 2014 Trial Version on a new PC with the same results. The boot CD gets as far as the splash screen with all the patent information and then the whole PC locks up (CD stops, Keyboard unresponsive, screen black).

The PC is a custom build with the following components:
Motherboard: supermicro X9DAL-3
Processors: Dual Intel Sandy Bridge
Graphics: PCI-E / PNY QUADRO K2000D GRAPHICS

I'm guessing some driver in the boot image doesn't support some of this hardware yet. Any help / ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Does sound like a missing driver issue. You might have to go the WinPE route to get it to work.

Oddly enough, a Bios update on the machine resolved the issue. Everything seems to be working properly now.

Well that was easy now wasn't it!
