How do you cope with a system that shuts itself down after a safe boot progress bar is completed?

Hi Phillip, is it 10.5.x you're on?
Thanks for you response - the honest answer is I don't know, not being particularly IT literate. I do know however that I'm running Maverick if that is of any help?
I also tried the Command R route, along with holding some other keys as per the Apple troubleshooting guide, but no luck. My wife pointed out though that the system was running slowly over the last few days and we had quite a lot of the 'spinning beach ball' before being able to undertake tasks.
Lastly, I inserted my start up disk bit as the system is unable to start I'm now unable to retrieve it. All-in-all a real pain.
Appreciate any advice. Many thanks.

Hold the mouse button down when powering on to eject the Disc.
Mavericks is 10.9.x
Sounds like a hardware failure & you'll have to have it looked at.
Thanks very much for the tip, I'll certainly try it when I get back from work later. I may have to take it to my Genius Bar in Leicester I fear!
OK, good luck with it. 🙂
