Hello, thanks for choosing Dell. As I responded to the OP, Have you tried this?
If your NIC is from Intel I’d recommend NIC driver update first then move onto “installing server update utility”.Social Media and Communities Professional

I'm having the same issue on a server with no Intel NICS just Broadcom reboots every 4mins
Only boots in to safe mode without crashing but nothing showing me what to uninstall or how??
Why alert to install drivers before the SSU loads properly?

RMS_MSMITH,
Just to confirm, did you see the issue occur upon installing SUU, or after running it to update?
If it is due to the install I would start with going into safe mode and deleting SUU.Let me know what you see.

Hello ben78,
I'm sorry to see there is an issue after installing SUU.
Could you provide more details? A screen shot of the issue may help or any errors you see.
Let me know the link you downloaded SUU from.
In addition please let me know:
Server model:
Operating system and version:
If this is a NIC driver issue; What NIC does your server have?

Hello Ben,
Are there any 3rd party components,(like NICs), installed that are not on the original order?
Do you have any hardware issues? Try running built in diags:
Boot to F11 on Dell Splash screen, selecting Boot Manager -> System Utilities -> Launch Dell Diagnostics. Note any messages and continue testing.
Try recreating the SUU without NIC firmware and do NIC separately within OS.
Alternate method to try - booting to the premade bootable ISO , or execute DSU (DELL EMC System Update) from the host OS.
Platform Specific Bootable ISO, PER720, 21.12.00
<ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell>
DELL EMC System Update, v.1.5.3

I think I tried everything now.
No, only originam parts are in the server. So no other nic's.
I don't think I'll be using the repository manager again.
I hope with an image i can recover the server again. This is not a good experience. I made glad i had a back-up server for our production-system.

Hi,
iqvsw64e.sys means:
IQVW64E stands for Intel QV Windows (64-bit) Module E
It’s an Intel NIC file.
Iqvw64e.sys file information
The process known as Intel® Network Adapter Diagnostic Driver belongs to software Intel® iQVW64.SYS or Intel® Network Connections by Intel (https://dell.to/3pG7DNn).
If your NIC is from Intel I’d recommend NIC driver update first then move onto “installing server update utility”.
