RE: [Solved][wimboot] Dell Optiplex 7440AIO hangs at startup with UEFI
Just something else I wanted to mention and this thread seems appropriate:

Getting a blank screen when UEFI booting a machine that boots just fine using legacy BIOS firmware? Specifically I am talking Windows 7/Server 2008 R2.

Check your firmware settings to see if there is an option to enable the loading of Legacy Video ROM Options. Sometimes this might be referred to as UEFI BIOS Compatibility Support Module (CSM).

UEFI uses graphics output protocol (GOP) which Windows 7/Server 2008 R2 does not support.

I have run into this with WinPE images as well as Windows Server 2008 R2 installs on Dell 13G server hardware. WinPE 10 and Server 2012 R2 support GOP and work fine.
