Q: Elcaptain not loading after reboot

Last night I copied some files to my MacBook, as usual I didn't shutdown, just closed the lid. Morning when I tried to open it got stuck at loading screen. Usually it won't show loading screen if I just closed the lid.

I waited around 1 hour but, no progress in the progress bar.

I have lot of uncommitted work related data is there in side, don't want to loose them.

How to resolve this issue?

What should I do to know what's wrong happened?

MacBook Pro, null

You can simply restart your Mac, even if you have to use the power button.

You can also try a Safe Mode by holding down the Shift key while restarting. Safe Mode launch performs clean up tacks, so it's quite slow to complete. If the Mac starts up in Safe Mode, restart it again normally.

Then format the startup disk and do a fresh install of OSX

Hi Illas

By pressing command+R+option key while starting. It completed OSx internet recovery, after that again apple logo with a progress bar came. And got stuck in the beginning itself.

What do you mean by "It completed OSx internet recovery,"
Just what was completed?

The internal drive may have failed. What happens if you boot to Recovery and repair/First Aid the startup disk?
What model MacBook Pro?
