Q: iMac (Mid 2011) stuck in restart loop
My Mid 2011, 27" iMac is caught in a restart loop. On start-up, the boot progress bar gets 1/3 full before the system goes to a blank gray screen then restart itself. It will continue this cycle unless I manually shut the machine off using the button. The cycle takes about 5 minutes.
- Reset of PRAM did not help
- Trying to boot into safe mode gives me a blue screen (see below). Same with recover disk.
- Disk verifies okay via fsck and by using thunderbolt target disk mode with my MacBook.
- Trying to boot into my Bootcamp partition hangs after the Windows animated logo goes away, leaving a black (lit) screen.
Thanks for the help.
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), Mid 2011, 27"
