What is the exact model of your Mac and what version of macOS are you using? You can get the exact model by entering your serial number here or here.


How were you booting the Mac when you took the attached picture?


What happens exactly when you attempt Internet Recovery Mode using Command + Option + R which bypasses the local recovery partition?


Can you run the Apple Diagnostics?


Can you boot into Safe Mode?


If Safe Mode doesn't work, then boot using Verbose Mode using Command + V. Post a picture of the screen once the text stops scrolling.
