How do I fix the 'computer restarted unexpectedly' error while installing Windows 11?
Asked by

I encountered an error that says, 'The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed.' This happened after I did a full reset and tried to reinstall Windows 11 from a USB. I'm looking for solutions to get past this issue.

Are you deleting the existing partitions during the installation? If not, you should try that. I had a similar problem with a corrupted EFI partition, and wiping the partitions fixed it for me.

I recommend trying a different ISO for the installation. Sometimes, the one you're using could be corrupted or not compatible with your system. Check out resources that guide you through the process for clearer steps.

If all else fails, consider backing up your data and going for a clean install of Windows instead of using the reset option. It often resolves these kinds of installation issues.
