My imac won't start up

Left my imac on overnight and woke up to this loading screen on sat



First few times it continued loading to thus screen. Combination of different colours each time



Today I tried googling and managed to get it into recovery but realised I haven't been backing up my machine.


Is there anything else I can try? Thought it was GPU problem but it loaded fine on recovery.


iMac with Retina 5K display, macOS 10.15

The good news is, most cases like this have a solution & can get your mac up and running again! The bad news... Being as you haven't backed up your iMac, I can't guarantee that you will have access to what was on it. It will be like starting fresh.


Have you been able to successfully boot you mac using SAFE MODE?
