Q: MacBook doesn't reboot to El Capitan
This MacBook, early 2009, 13"/4GB RAM was happy enough with Yosemite 10.10.2, but I was getting friendly Apple messages to update to El Capitan, so I downloaded it. Then I clicked Update and it apparently installed and said it would shut down and restart.
The restart seemed to start, as the apple logo and the progress bar was there...for about a fifth of the way, and then it went black - apparently shutting down. I've again tried powering up several times, with the same result. I've also tried holding down the C key, for what that's worth.
How can I get my MacBook back in operation? Thanks!
MacBook, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), 13" early 2009 model
