Hi Josi86,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!


I know that it is both frustrating and concerning when your computer does not start up as you would expect. In this situation I would recommend working through the troubleshooting steps and information located in the attached article.


Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck


Have a great day,

Joe
