Automatic reboot during installation restarts the installation process

[uMBP17"]

Hi,

I have an macbook pro late 2011 17" with annoying issues.

Problem:
I cant get past the first auto reboot during installation of macOS. Its restarts the installation from scratch, over and over.

What I tried:
Tried to install macOS directly from witin the desktop, with the install file that I got from appstore (tried several times), I also tried creating a bootable usb with macOS on it, using both diskmaker and the terminal creating a bootable disk.
The usb stick shows up when holding alt key at boot.

Its just like my macbook doesnt find the newly created installation disk after reboot, forcing it to start the installation progress from scrath over and over.
Some sort of starup disk falure perhaps?

I even turned to digital inn here in sweden that are apple certified workshop for macs. They hade the same problem..

Havent found anyone with my problem hence this post.

Yes, I've tried to reset NVRAM as well. No change.

Is it possible that the MBP has a GPU problem that is causing the reboots? Tried installing the OS to an external drive?

Hi, I have exactly the same thing, happened to my MacBook Pro 2016 4 days ago, software update randomly notified me so I did and press it, but it starts restarting and couldn’t use my computer anymore, it starts from scratch over and over again no matter what I do. Tried even deleting the disk, and it restarted too and it even got worst since I think the disk was getting deleted but it didn’t get to finish it. I was on the phone with Apple for a long time but nothing worked. So I was scheduled to go to the Apple store yesterday, they tried everything there too but didn’t work, the woman was thinking it was just a software problem, but it turns out my hardware got broken too. I don’t know how or why because my MacBook Pro was perfectly fine before i tried updating.

I'm sorry to hear that you have same issue as I do.
Really annoying problem.

And so far no fix for it... :/
