Windows Server 2012 crashes after enabling Hyper-V

A little off my usual topic but this was a super annoying problem I had to deal with... I enabled the Hyper-V role in Server 2012 and my machine no longer goes past the Windows logo. Sadly there is no Windows Restore feature in Server 2012 not to mention I wasn't able to uninstall Hyper-V in safe mode so I was essentially stuck.

Solution? Disable USB 3.0 controller in BIOS. BAM! Things work again. Apparently Hyper-V and USB 3.0 don't like each other. Thanks Microsoft for wasting an hour of my time.
