Imac reinstalled with Ventura OS but has crashed and STOP sign is all I can get.

Completed at the nearby Apple Store, my system would not run MS Office 2019! Soon after it crashed. It will not boot to Recovery Mode, nor Safe Mode. STOP sign is all I can get.

STOP sign and non Recovery Mode iMac has crashed and will not let me into Recovery Mode. I made a bootable drive with High Sierra BUT the iMac will not run the install. It just shows a STOP sign and then a few moments later shuts down the iMac. Help! Jonah

iMac Retina Mid 2017 (Fusion Drive) Recovery mode not working Hi, I got the above iMAC and I have a problem of accessing the Recovery mode of it. I guess this happened after I tried to install Windows via BootCamp and then failed. (Allocated partition was recovered using bootcamp itself) Neither of following doesn't work at the moment while booting with a Mac OS Ventura Bootable USB. (Earlier I installed Ventura using the same method) 1. Command+R 2. Command+Option+R 3. Command+Shift+Option+R I tried resetting NVRAM/PRAM & SMC too. That too doesn't work. Now it's on Mac OS Ventura. What ever key combination I tried it always goes to the login screen now. I checked whether there is a keyboard issue or a bootable USB issue but both have no issues. Also when I checked the disk by diskutil list. That too shows recovery partition is fine. (As per my understanding,correct me if I am wrong) Figure attached. I have already downloaded the Mac OS Ventura APP in to the applications. If I try to re-install it while inside the OS (without going to recovery mode), the recovery mode or recovery partition can be repaired? Can you please suggest what I can do.

I've never seen an octagonal stop sign as a startup window. Could it be one of the ones shown in this Apple document: If your Mac doesn't start up all the way - Apple Support
