This thread is more as an info if anyone wish to run Hyper-V on new AMD cpus.
It's not really new but I found it helpful for some users so I added it here. Probably most users will never have to use it
Even that Server 2008R2 and cpu are supporting virtualization, it's not possible to run virtual machines without errors so MS made "simple" fix. Main problem is that Server 2008R2 is not supporting AVX so this patch is adding support for AVX instructions. It's working also for Intel SB series.
There is also way to disable AVX feature that should work too - use command " bcdedit /set xsavedisable 1 " in command prompt.

In case of any problems try to open link using IE ( I couldn't download it with Firefox at home ).
All is working for me on FX-8120 cpu but I noticed that there is no more TurboCore option in AOD that is pretty helpful while oc ( at least on boards without APM option in BIOS ).
