Booting stuck on black screen spinning wheel

I successfully used Bootcamp to create a partition on my laptop hard drive and installed Windows, but when I try to boot up from that new Windows partition my computer gets stuck on the black login screen with spinning wheel. I reset PRAM but don’t know what else to try.

Can't boot into Bootcamp partition anymore? Hi, everyone. After using Disk Utility to resize my MacOS partition (without doing anything to the Windows partition), I can no longer boot into my Bootcamp partition. Disk Utility still detects it, and nothing appears to have changed, but I can't boot into it anymore. It doesn't appear in the Startup Manager, and switching to it using the Startup Disk utility in System Preferences results in a white screen for a couple of minutes after rebooting, and then a black screen with "No bootable devices found. Please insert boot disk and press any key." on it. I have no idea what could have possibly caused this, as I didn't try to resize or mess with the Windows partition at all. Please help!

I had this issue back in the days when I was installing Win7 but I do not remember how I managed to solve this white screen issue. I'm not sure but I pressed some combination and win7 started to install.
