Hi,
have problems with one of VMs on 2012R2 host
Host is HP DL160 Gen9 with E5-2620v3 (12cores), P440 storage controller, 2xSAS disks.
VM1 boots normally with 8 vcpu (but integration services doesn't report status - see below), however with 9-12vcpu system boots in a weird mode. The first blue screen is not blue, but light blue/magenta. I can type password to log in, but nothing happens when i click ok/enter - no failures and no result. Sometimes (another boot) password i type is typed with Chinese instead on English. In any case you cannot login. sometimes it says "a device attached to the system is not functioning"
host is: Windows Server 2012R2 (fully updated)
VM1 (the problematic one) is 2012R2 (fully updated), Integration services state/version not detected
State : Running
MemoryStatus : OK
Status : Operating normally
Generation : 2
IntegrationServicesState :
IntegrationServicesVersion :
VM2 (good) is 2012R2
State : Running
MemoryStatus : OK
Status : Operating normally
Generation : 2
IntegrationServicesState : Up to date
IntegrationServicesVersion : 6.3.9600.16384
So host is generally ok, but some issues with VM1. when i try to install Integration tools on VM1 i got:

Hyper-V Integration Services

This computer is already running the current version of integration services (version 6.3.9600.16384).

sfc /scannow doesn't find any issues
I have a feeling it's related to some bad integration driver. maybe some driver have replaced. Or maybe it's a service, that starts faster with more vcpu and fails. Not sure what else to do
