Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
My Mac book pro shuts down after a few second. I have to press the start button multiple time before uploading
Time Capsule 802.11n (3rd Gen), OS X Yosemite (10.10)
Start up in Safe mode: OS X Yosemite: Start up in safe mode then restart normally.
What model of Macbook Pro? How much RAM? SSD or spin HDD?
I did start up in safe mode as instructed, the problem still exists. I repeated the steps again twice, still not fixed. I have to power on more than once.
I have a MacBook Pro 17-inch OS X Yosemite. Memory 8 GB

What year is your Macbook Pro? Some 17" MBPs from 2011 are subject to recall. Although your symptoms seem different, check it out. See this page for instructions. https://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro-videoissues/ You will need your serial number.
If that does not apply, try starting up in Recovery mode by holding down the Command and R keys together. Select Disk Utility and then your startup disk and Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions.
If your disk is verified as OK, try resetting the SMC. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support

Did you do SMC reset?
One more thing to try. OS X Yosemite: Use Apple Diagnostics or Apple Hardware Test
Use the original installation disk that came with your MBP and boot the MBP as if you were reinstalling the original OSX.
Proceed until you see a menu bar on top of the display.
Select UTILITIES.
From the drop down menu select Disk Utility.
Run Disk Utility>First Aid, Verify and Repair.
If the disk cannot be repaired, it will have to be replaced.
Ciao.
I use the original installation disk, hold down the C key as the computer starts up. The menu bar and the OS X Utilities window froze. The continue box stays gray. I click on all icons in the menu no response.
I reinstall the original OS X I shut down the computer restart it, It did not fix the problem.
I use the Hardware Test Disk, the message came out: no error found.

I did the SMC reset that did not fix the issue. I use the Apple Hardware Test the result came out no problem found. I power it on, it shuts down after a few second.

Hi, welcome back.đ
Take a look at this page about a similar problem. It says it could be a bad fan.

Does this mean you now have the original OS -- Mac OS X 10.5.7 -- installed? And the same thing is happening, you can start up in OS X 10.5.7 but it shuts down almost immediately?
It might be best to take your computer in to an Apple store and let them check it. You can make an appointment.
Safe boot did not solve the problem. I open the back cover cleaned the dust, the fans are working. It must be something else to troubleshoot!

Your best option is an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation.
