Hello,

I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) that has a broken NVIDIA graphics card, and I'm trying to get Windows 10 installed.

First I tried to use Bootcamp Assistant with a Seagate hard drive. It worked well until the computer reset to install Windows, and then it just gave me a black screen.

Then I created a bootable "usb" using a the hard drive and Winlib-Imagex. I reset to Startup Manager and clicked the "EFI Boot" icon. I followed the installer's instructions. But when it booted into Windows 10, it went into a loop where it would give me the error

"The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unepxected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click "OK" to restart the computer, and then restart the installation."

and then restart really fast before I could press anything.

AI tells me that it's a problem with the graphics card, and it had me try a bunch of solutions that said it would disable it, both on the Mac side and the Windows side, but nothing worked. It also had me try skip directly to account creation by entering Audit mode and Safe mode, but those didn't work either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
