Windows Installer Error ‘DRIVER_PNP_WATCHDOG’

I’ve been trying to install windows for some time now. I made a bootable USB through Rufus since I couldn’t figure out how to do it with bootcamp, and when booting into the installer, it shows the windows logo loading for a long time. Then I am presented with a BSOD showing the stop code DRIVER_PNP_WATCHDOG. If I’m correct, it’s something to do with the drivers.


The device im trying to install it on is a Late 2009 iMac 27”
