Unfortunately that is generally caused by a hardware issue.

Try Safe Mode, as per > https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262

And macOS Recovery, as per > https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204267

Then the Apple Diagnostics, as per > https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202731

Sadly if none of those get it going or help, see > https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204267
