Hello, I tried installing proxmox 7 on my old Proliant server Dl380 G5, it has a Smart Array P400 Controller with 4 960GB sas and 4 sdd 930gb.
First I installed proxmox ver 7 and configured it , but when installing windows server 2016 in the VM I got a blue screen with this message "Stop code: PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA"
so I try solving it, changing in the bios configuration some options in the processor option disabled it out and enabled it out : in No-Execute memory protection and Intel(R) Virtualization technology

When reinstalling Proxmox 7 after this I got these messages and it does not end the installation:
1. ACPI: SPCR: unexpected SPCR Access Widht Deafulting to byte si:
2. x86/cpu :VMX (outside TXT) diabled by BIOS
3. Firmware Bug]: the Bios has corrupted hw-PMU resources
4. ACPI BIOS Error (bug): AE_AML_BUFFE_LIMIT, field [CDW3]
5. Aborting method \_SB._OSC due previous error

I have had runned bios update but It does not work so I restored the old one , trying the both , but it does not worked

when I install in a non virtualized enviroment the windows server 2016 works fine.

I appreciate any help,

Did you install PVE 7.1? If so, you could try installing the 5.11 kernel and booting that one.
 
I'm facing a very similar issue (I think it is the same). I was using windows guests inside a proxmox instance with pve version 7.0, but after upgrade to 7.1 they didn't boot correctly throwing the same PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA error. Tried to download several images and also get the same error while booting the installation media. I've also tried to install a clean proxmox instance (latest version) and also had the same issue.
I've tried to reboot with old 5.11 kernel (already installed where the vm worked properly before upgrade) and still not work, so I suspect more in the other packages that came in the same upgrade.
 
in proxmox 7.1 it is necessary to activate in option KVM HARDWARE VIRTUALIZATION. I tested it on w7, w10 ws2008. Perfect. In previous proxmox versions leave it disabled.
