Windows Server 2019 stops during the boot process

Hello forum!

Our server often hangs on restart.
After the start (EFI) the Windows logo appears,
but no spinning dots.
A reboot is necessary.
The start often works better when the boot process is observed with BNC.
But that can also be a placebo ...

Any idea how I can see where the boot process is getting stuck?
Regards

    I'd start by checking here and with manufacturer about support for Server 2019
    https://www.windowsservercatalog.com/

    also check the latest ROM bios, firmware, chipset and driver support pack from manufacturer's site have been installed.

    Hi @[[Wishy]] ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A.
    Check if there is a memory.dmp under C:\Windows folder.
    You can download the WinDbg Preview from Microsoft Store for dump analysis.

    Best regards,
