Q: Startup Problem: status bar hangs at 3/4

Macbook Pro 13" mid 2012

OS 10.11.5

8GB Memory

2.9 GHz IntelCore i7

 

Startup gives me login screen and once I enter password it starts to load. When the status bar gets about 3/4 the screen starts to blink and a white wheel appears below the status bar. It doesn't spin. The screen begins to blink and computer does not startup.

 

I Have reset PRAM and all peripherals are unplugged.

 

Appreciate any help!

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3), Adobe Suite
