I tried to reinstall Yosemite, but it freeze in the half way of restarting. I tried to install OS X Server from the Mac App Store, it also freeze in the half way of the installation. What happened?
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
How come you want to reinstall? Did you have some problem that together with this might point at a hardware problem? Have you tried more than once? Does it freeze at a similar position in the process?
It is because I ssuspect I was infected with spyears, and the iMac has been used for few years. So I want to make it a reborn. Also, my synology NAS got some problem too, I finally decided to purchase the OSX Server to replace the Synology DSM.
OK, if you only have tried to install once I would try a new installation but when the installation have started up, before doing anything else, I would start Disk Utility (from within the installation app/ESD/NetInstall/whatever method you are using) and erase the partition where you want to install. If you want to go all the way you could remove the partition and create a new one (in case there would be file system errors or something similar). It could be easiest to do this from an external media like an ESD or NetInstall or NetRestore.
If it continues to give you a hard time I would start to suspect a hardware problem.
