  I'm trying to get a VM with a graphics card working in Azure.  I've created a Win10 VM from the marketplace - sized as NV4as_v4, and followed the instructions:

  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/n-series-amd-driver-setup

  and

  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/extensions/hpccompute-amd-gpu-windows

  This appears to be a Radeon MI25, but I can't get it to run.

  
  

  It worked for about a week on Windows 2016 Server, and then failed after a reboot, never to work again.  I've tried numerous ways to install, uninstall, change Azure size.  In my current attempt, here's what I've done:

  1. Deploy Win 10 NV4as_v4 from marketplace
  2. Power it on for initial logon (privacy question, etc.)
     
  3. Run powershell: Set-AzVMExtension -ResourceGroupName <resource> -VMName <vmname> -Location "East US" -Publisher "Microsoft.HpcCompute" -ExtensionName "AmdGpuDriverWindows" -ExtensionType "AmdGpuDriverWindows" -TypeHandlerVersion 1.0 -SettingString '{ }'
  4. VM logs appear to indicate that the install completes normally (exit code 0)
  5. Wait for CPU to settle down (5 or 10 minutes?), and manually reboot - there was no automated reboot.

  How do I get a graphics card to work in Azure?
