iMac shutting down on startup

Im not sure why this is happening or how to fix it?


One day it just slowed down a lot. A few days later, I tried going into safe mode to see causes, then it just shut down in the middle of restarting. It just shuts down every time you try to boot it up. When the bar hits the middle of the apple logo, thats when it shuts down.

Troubleshooting a Re-Booting Mac:


A. Try Safe Mode:

In Safe Mode, login items do not run, and corrupt system files(i.e. caches) are intentionally reset as a way to fix issues

  1. Boot: in to Safe Mode: [Hold Down: shift key upon boot].
  2. Log in: as same user
  3. Wait: 30 seconds
  4. Restart; your Mac
  5. Log in: as same user


B. See if your Hard drive is Failing:

What to Try:

  1. Boot: into Recovery Mode.  Go Here:  How to Use Safe Mode on your Mac - Apple Support
  2. Select: Disk Utility
  3. Select: the Drive
  4. Click: First Aid button
