Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference to kick off June 10 at 10 a.m. PDT with Keynote address

The Keynote will be available to stream on apple.com, the Apple Developer app, the Apple TV app, and the Apple YouTube channel. On-demand playback will be available after the conclusion of the stream.

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Well this sounds like the HD has crashed. However before taking it into your local Apple Store or AASP for service please attempt the following:

NVRAM Reset

Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

Restart in Safe Mode

Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac - Apple Support

Restart in the Recovery Partition (Command + R on startup), then open Disk Utility and run First Aide 2-3 times. If errors appear that confirms my hunch.
