iMac fails to boot even after iOS recover reinstall

My iMac failed to boot properly and was "frozen" on the loading bar at about 90%.


Safe mode won't boot either.

I tried recovery to troubleshoot and eventually downloaded iOS for reinstall which hasn't solved my issue.


Need help asap as chat support and phone support proving difficult, connectivity reliability my end.

iMac 21.5″ 4K, macOS 10.14
