Trying to install boot camp, constantly and randomly restarting after install

Hello all,


I have been trying to resolve this problem for the last 5 hours so I would appreciate any help at all.


I have a MacBook Pro 15 Inch 2017. Software is up to date. I have used boot camp in the past on this same computer with zero issues. I deleted it last year due to not needing it but I am trying to re install it now but I am running into an issue.


I am able to install and boot up windows, however every time I try and download a software the computer screen will freeze, restart, and give me a screen that says it looks like Windows didn’t load correctly.


I am not entirely sure what I am doing wrong or what the problem is. Can anyone help? I have tried removing boot camp and re installing and running into the same issue. Also I have no external devices plugged in. From this screen I can restart my computer and get back into Windows, however my problem is that it keeps restarting whenever I download or open a program.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.1

other things I have tried from spending hours googling:


  • resetting NVRAM and SMC
  • disk repair on Mac side
  • running sfc/scannow from the command line 
  • removing and reinstalling boot camp
  • turning it off and back on again lol


I first suspected I may be missing a driver or something but I can’t install anything without my computer freezing and restarting. I allocated about 60 GB of space for boot camp so could that be the issue? (I have 20 gb left on my mac side)The things I have tried to download have not been above 800mb though so I really don’t think space is the issue.


I will keep trying different things and reply here if I find a fix but literally any help would be so much appreciated.
