Bootcamp ACPI_Bios_Error Windows 10 installation

Hi all,


I was running Mojave on a Macbook Pro13,2. I had Windows 10 installed for gaming and one day I ran out of power. After reboot and trying to boot into Windows again I got a blue screen ACPI_BIOS_ERROR since then all **** broke loose.


I tried several time to reboot. Nothing.


There are one/two other threads on this board but they did not help me.


This is what I did:


  • Remove Windows Bootcamp and reinstall - no success
  • Use windows 10 (64) 1607, 1809, 1903. 1909 - no success
  • Use windows 8 (64) - no success
  • Reset SMC / VRAM multiple times - no success
  • updating to Catalina (I am now on Catalina) and try all again - no success
  • using diskutil + unetbootin to create a windows boot usb - no success
  • note: I tried several USB windows boot sticks every time I get the ACPI bios error so I have no chance of installing any windows anymore
  • playing around with clover or how this tool os called so somehow patch acpi - no success / not really know what I am doing here
  • mounting EFI disk0s1 no windows folder only APPLE so I even copied one there from somewhere - no success
  • removing filevault and try all again - no success
  • removing SIP by command+r at boot and terminal: csrutil disable then editing the bootcamp info.plist to add supported model via xcode to get 'create bootdisk' option back - no success for acpi error


I can't even get into recovery tools to 'repair' windows via usb boot stick! crazy!


Bootcamp installs windows then on first reboot acpi bios error so it leaves the bootcamp partition but empty as it never gets past that first reboot.


Help?


MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15
