iMac will not start up

My Mac begins to start up with apple logo and progress bar. After about 30 seconds, and halfway on progress bar, it shuts off. Any possible ideas why and what I may be able to do?

iMac 27″, 10.13

Hi cthode2,


There are several things to try.


First, read these articles: If your Mac starts up to an Apple logo or progress bar - Apple Support and If your Mac doesn't turn on - Apple Support.


Let us know how the troubleshooting steps in the articles go.


Cheers,
