Try an SMC reset:

Try starting up in Safe Mode:
Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac - Apple Support
Try Single User Mode (hold command-s keys)

At the prompt, enter this command:
/sbin/fsck -fy
Press the Return key.
This will check your directory and report that it was OK or repaired. Then enter this command to startup normally:
reboot
If neither of those work boot into Recovery and Reinstall Mac OS.
