What is the iMac sub-model, the part with a year and Early, Mid, or Late? (Ex. Mid-2011)
As the computer is not starting, you may have to use the serial number (on the bottom of the "foot" of the stand) and this Apple support page to get the sub-model.
Check Your Service and Support Coverage - Apple Support
That will return something like this:
Sometimes the Apple page does not work for older Mac models. In that case, you can get the same function but for older Macs using this third-party site:

The age and OS version both are at play here. Older machines and OS versions may require the system disks that shipped with the computer.
Thank you for the response. I tried the command-R it tries to recover via the Internet By ethernet. Then OS X Utilities fir reinstall appears, it says OS X El Capitan 10.11. However, when I agree to the software it stops at this point. I cannot select a disk where to install. User log indicates Warning. Method user spacescalefactor in class NSWindow is deprecated on 10.7 and later It should not be used in new applications. Use convertRecToBaxking instead. ?????
If the computer is older than a 2012 than Internet recovery will not work. What year is it?
