Try booting into Safe Mode. It will take a bit longer to reach the desktop and the screen may flash or flicker since it is using a very basic video driver in Safe Mode. If successful, try rebooting normally.


If not successful, then try an SMC reset and PRAM reset (hold the PRAM reset for a full minute so it activates several times).


Try booting into Recovery Mode using Command + R, or into Internet Recovery Mode using Command + Option + R if your system supports it. Run Disk Utility First Aid.


It would help us to know the exact model of your laptop. You can get this information by clicking the Apple menu and selecting "About this mac" or by entering your serial number here. What version of macOS are you using? Have you made any recent hardware or software changes or other changes to the system?
