Q: MacBook Pro not starting after crash

Hi,

first of all... sorry for my englisch ;-)

I've worked on my MacBook Pro (early 2011) and than the Screen was distorting. I've made a hart reset (pressing power button till shutdown). After that it's not starting anymore. I've cleared the SMC, NVRAM Cache. Tried to boot into Internet Recovery. But i'm only getting a blank white screen and the fan is on full power. Not starting anymore.

What could it be and what can i do?

Thanks a lot!

MacBook Pro (15-inch 2.4/2.2 GHz), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

Ciao.

Thanks for your quick reply. Currently i've succesfully started into the Diagnostic Mode with the Application DVD.
On this test mode there are no graphic issues on the screen. The test is running (currently memory testing). Hope it's not the graphic card and just RAM or the Harddisk.

For anyones interesst with some of the same issues... I've putted the Second DVD (Applications) in my drive and pressed the D Key on start untill it runs into the diagnostic mode...

I dont know why... but starting with verbose mode helped to boot.
I've tried anything, but starting up verbose helped... at the boot process i've seen some hard drive errors. maybe the HD has a problem.
The Memory test was fine.

The startup key can be found here: Startup key combinations for Mac - Apple Support
