MacBook Pro M2 stuck at loading bar after entering password

Hi everyone,

My MacBook Pro M2 freezes right after I enter my password, when the loading bar is about 5% complete, and then it restarts by itself. I've already tried reinstalling macOS, but nothing seems to work.

Has anyone experienced this or knows what might be causing it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
