I've had an issue where one of my Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V hosts just decided to keel over and die on me. The event which I'm seeing is as follows:

I'm finding extremely little information regarding event 5377 on the Internet. Apart from doing the standard checking for latest windows updates, and rebooting - how can I prevent this from happening again in the future? This crash took down 64
virtual machines.
