hi all
My MacBook Pro keeps rebooting during startup.
I tried resetting the SMC, but that didn't work. When I press cmd + R (to get into recovery mode) it just freeze.
Please help!!!!

What is the EXACT model/ year MBP that you have?
Ciao.
The 2011 model 🙂
Early 2011 or late 2011 model? What is the display size? What was the original OSX, Snow Leopard (10.6) or Lion (10.7)?
Ciao.
late 2011 model - 15" - snow leopard (10.6)
Did your MBP come with Snow Leopard installation disks? (If so it is an early 2011 MBP).
Ciao.
Yes it did, but I can't find it.. Can the installation disk help me get into recovery mode?? Or what can I do to fix it??
What the original installation disk allows one to do is access the HDD as if one were in the recovery partition. Then you can run Disk Utility>First Aid, Verify and Repair which, if successful, would put you back in operation. Duplicate installation disks can be ordered from Apple Customer Service for a fee.
Probably the quickest solution is to make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar. They can install any OSX and be able to determine the status of the HDD. The evaluation will be free.
