Window Server 2012r2 entered recovery mode after power suspension

There is a Windows tool: Windows Driver Verifier (WDV)

When it is used it stress tests drivers.
Unstable drivers will crash resulting in a BSOD with shutdown and restart.

Drivers are then uninstalled and reinstalled.

The tool is run in the background for 24 hours.

While the tool is in use it consumes CPU and there may be reduced performance.

So if you can set aside downtime with unexpected shutdowns and restarts the tool can be used to stress test drivers.

This is an alternative for event logs:

The Windows 7 Windows driver verifier tutorial is likely more consistent with server 2012.

To turn off the tool after a crash and be able to return to the desktop run these in sequence as needed:
verifier /reset
verifier /bootmode resetonbootfail
system restore

If there is no immediate BSOD then run:
verifier /querysettings

Post a share link into this thread.

After any BSOD run the DM log collector and post a share link into the newest post.

I'll be heading to bed shortly and can start you on the testing.

When customizing the tool:
a) test no Microsoft drivers
b) test all non-Microsoft drivers

The tool is turned off in safe mode running the command prompt commands.
A bootable flash drive with Windows RE is another option to run command prompt commands.

Please post a share link for verifier /querysettings while running the tool.

Plan to run the tool for 24 hours.

If there are no performance problems or very slow boot the customized test settings can be modified.

If there are no performance problems then please add the following customized tests:

[ ] 0x00002000 Invariant MDL checking for stack.
[ ] 0x00004000 Invariant MDL checking for driver.
[ ] 0x00008000 Power framework delay fuzzing.
[ ] 0x00010000 Port/miniport interface checking.
[ ] 0x00040000 Systematic low resources simulation.
[ ] 0x00080000 DDI compliance checking (additional).
[ ] 0x00200000 NDIS/WIFI verification.
[ ] 0x00800000 Kernel synchronization delay fuzzing.
[ ] 0x01000000 VM switch verification.

If there is no immediate BSOD then post another verifier /querysettings
