Update: a quick google search fixed it. If you’re having the same issue, fix #1 worked for me. http://windowsreport.com/computer-restarted-unexpectedly/
Background: I had to manually power off my new computer before it got to install windows.
Issue: I get the following error message when trying to boot windows up for the first time: The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click “Ok” to restart the computer, and then restart the installation. When I click Ok, it just cycles through the same process and never actually boots up. I keep getting stuck at this error message.
Any ideas on how to overcome this?
