Macbook Pro 17" restarting during boot screen

This seems to be an on going problem for people. From the threads I've read I could not get a solution.
My Macbook is turing on and plating the chime, but the screen has been covered in loads of  square patches of purple dots. The Apple logo appears on the grey screen and the wheel starts to turn. What happens is it will do this for a minute or so and then freeze or more often restart and do the same thing again until i force it to turn off.
I have tried all of the below already
     - Safe Mode (fails and restarts)
     - Single user mode (disk repair command as I could not do it through the graphical interface)
     - Reset using cmd+option+r+p
     - Recovery by holding Option during boot (again freezes or restarts)
I would use a disc to a reinstall but my optical drive is broken and I do not have access to an external one. I realise I can use a Bootable USB but I only have access to a Windows for the time being. Its probably worth mentioning that was watching a video on Youtube when the whole laptop froze and starting repeating and jerking and then shut down. It has not worked since!
Can anyone suggest any other posible solutions please?
Thank you

This seems like a hardware issue.
All we can suggest is run a #3 Hardware Test, write down what it says and take it into Apple for a free eval.

5 year old machine? I'd say it's the video card going because the cooling fins behind the fans haven't been cleaned, heat damage is irreversible.
Not worth fixing, buy a new machine.
You can extract the drive and use a SATA to USB adatpter and Migration Assistant to a new Mac.
My computer is not working, is my personal data lost?

  • Mid 2010 Macbook Pro diagonal lines on boot screen

    My Macbook Pro has developed this strage issue. The boot screen has distorted diagonal lines all over it, and it will hang on this boot screen.
    Sometimes I can get it to boot by starting in safe mode (it will still give me the distorted diagonal lines) it will then go through it's process and then go to sleep (only if the power cable is not attached). Then I will hold down the power button to turn it off, and then turn it on again, at which point it boots up normally. That said, this doesn't work every time, and is a 30min process with each attempt.
    Has anyone else ever seen this issue before?
    MBP-2010, i5-2.53, Lion

    Unfortunately this is becoming an ongoing known problem:

    If it's a reball problem I might have a solution but I just sent in a MBA with a Southbridge chip problem. The guy's rebelling it so we'll see how that works out.
    Shades of the iBook GPU reball problem!

  • MacBook Pro turns off during boot?

    This is kind of a long story.
    I have a 13-inch, Mid-2010 MacBook Pro running OS X Mavericks. I was using it near a bathtub, when a moderate amount of water spilled onto the keyboard. I immediately dabbed out most of it, and put it upside down for some time. It was running then, with all the keys and trackpad working fine. t turned it off, and tired turning it on after half an hour. Nothing. I decided to keep it switched off for 7 days, during which I would open the lid every now and then to find vapor on the screen from the keyboard which I would wipe and close again. I turned it on when there was no vapor spotted for 3 days. I plugged it in after 7 days, to see that the battery status indicator was erratic. It turned on with a sound from the SuperDrive (the usual click). There was no startup chime. A few minutes later, it turned off. I decided to reset the PRAM and SMC, and I realized that I can get to my account window successfully (and type a 22 letter password) as long as I keep any key pressed throughout bootup (option, command key, etc). I have tried many times, but it just turns off with a "nik" sound. I haven't backed up, and I have about 270 GB of important data stored that I CANNOT lose.
    If it helps, it's 250GB drive crashed in December but it was replaced with a 500 GB and has been running smooth until this.
    Please help me! Any advice at all is extremely appreciated. Thank you!

    Take the HDD out of the MBP and install it in an enclosure.  Connect it to another Mac and see if you have access to the HDD.  If so, copy what ever files that are important to you to another HDD.
    Then you can take the MBP to an Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation.  Prepare your self  for unfavorable news.

  • Macbook Pro shuts down during boot

    Hi there,
    Few days ago I spilled some beer on my 2 weeks old Macbook Pro... I immediately cleaned it, removed the battery and charger and left it to dry for 1.5 day.
    After the drying period I tried to power up the machine, it did work but unfortutanely shut itself during the boot (the spinning wheel) and power button didn't respond again until I removed and re-connect my battery. Tried everything such as Nvram/Pram and SMC reset, single user thing, verbose mode, changing ram dimms but got nothing. It did eventually boot with hardware test but again got nothing as the test indicated that there weren't any problems.
    It always shuts itself after "Checking catalog file" in the verbose mode.
    (The machine shuts itself even when I try to boot it with os x installation disc so the only thing that I can reach is the hardware test.)
    (To tell the truth I don't know if I succeeded creating a bootable installation disc as I did it under windows.. I'm hoping that I failed and that it can actually boot from dvd drive)
    Did I just screwed my logic-board, if so how can I run all the tests.. Any suggestions?

    Immediately disconnect all peripherals, power cord & remove the battery.  Turn the computer over with the lid partly open and the hinge facing upward to let the liquid drain.  Do not flop it over and lay it flat - you want to separate it from the moisture.  Place paper or cloth towels under the machine to sop up the mess.
    After the computer disgorges whatever you spilled on it, don't turn it on for 72 hours or longer.  You want to computer to dry out completely before turning it on again.
    Some users here swear by hairdryers.  Blow drying the innards may bake whatever was in the liquid onto delicate computer components.  Better to let the computer air dry.
    Use plain tepid water to clean out the computer.  If you spilled iced beverage more than likely this ice fried the hot motherboard.
    Sugary, acidic or milky drinks will almost always cause problems later on as the residue starts slowly corroding the computer innards.
    Swab down any sticky parts with distilled water or denatured alcohol.
    If none of the above works, you will need to take the computer to a repair shop.  Apple Care does not cover liquid or food damage.  Believe me, they can tell.  So the old "my computer stopped working" line is not going to work.
    In order to not void your warranty any further, take it and let the staff clean it.  It's worth it for a 2 week old computer.   In the future, avoid eating and drinking while using your computer.  Will avoid future heartache and expense.

  • Macbook Pro random restart during wake from Safe Sleep

    When my Macbook Pro is waking up from Safe Sleep, sometimes it spontaneously restarts halfway through the process. The Safe Sleep progress bar gets half way, then you hear the startup chime, and then the login screen appears. Obviously, all my unsaved but supposedly 'safe' work is lost at that point.

    Hello there DaveWoo,
    It sounds like your computer is occasionally restarting on its own when you wake it from sleep. There can be a number of reasons for this to happen, and I recommend you use the following article to help you resolve or isolate the issue. Its pretty thorough and has a lot of information.

  • Macbook Pro freezes at the boot up screen. Purple Pixels occur if I get through the boot up and freezes

    My macbook doesn't want to boot up. I just get the apple with the rotating wheel that goes on for about 60 seconds. Then it either freezes or magically goes to the desktop. If it does get past the freezing spin wheel to the desktop, I have only a matter of time before these crazy purple pixels just flood about a nice portion of the screen. Once I see the random purple pixels there is nothing I can do to get rid of it, It just freezes and I have to shut it down with the power button. I got the computer in 2008 so I don't know if it's dying from old age or maybe it's a virus. Also, one time, I saw the flashing globe. It's really frustrating.

    Powerbooks are not MacBooks and MacBook are not MacBook Pros.  Look under the screen, what you have there is the machine you actually have.  See if one of these programs applies:

  • I have a Macbook PRO and it stopped booting up. When I turn power on it just stays in white screen.

    I have a Macbook PRO and it stopped booting up. When I turn power on it just stays in white screen. I have not dropped it anything. Please help.

    Try holding alt when booting to select your hard drive to boot into, if that fails, do it again but select the "recovery" partition (If you have Lion or Mountain Lion)

    I have a MacBook Pro that will not boot up. The apple symbol is there and the spinning wheel keeps spinning. Any idea how I can fix this?

    Reinstall OS X.
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    OR
    Reinstall Snow Leopard without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

  • My early 2008 Macbook Pro is suffering from black screen after Yosemite update

    My early 2008 Macbook Pro is suffering from black screen after Yosemite update. It ran beta 5 great but failed on restart after beta 6 install. There is no cursor but I can hear the HDD spooling up. I have tried booting in safe mode, PRAM reset and SMC reset but nothing works. After the first 5 days of every now and then trying to start it, it started fine. I used the machine all day with no problems, it had rolled back the install and was back on beta 5. I decided to try the update again, the same thing happened and it has stayed black for over a week now. It wont work with a monitor either. Help!

    Hello Adam,
    I would try instead of installing the beta software, to install the official build of OS X Yosemite from the Mac App Store to see if that gets you passed the no video issue when updating the beta software.

  • Macbook Pro Keeps Restarting Itself and then totally crashed

    Dear all.
    I am using Macbook Pro 13-inch (i7 2.9 Ghz, 8 GB DDR3, 750 GB) with OS X Maverick (10.9.4).
    For the last few months, my Macbook Pro kept restarting itself and I usually ignored this issue until yesterday, my MBP fail to boot up, only display the grey apple logo and rolling icon below for almost 30 mins.
    I tried the safe mode and reset NVRAM method and it still fail to boot up and sometimes a black text appears (aka kernel panic).
    Then i took my macbook pro to the nearest Apple service provider and the technician said that it was probably due to the 750 GB Hard Disk since the HD itself is a faulty product, therefore we can't find any 750 GB HD nowadays. So he recommended me to replace my current HD with a new HD. I took his advice and I replaced it with 1 TB Toshiba HD. And then the technician reformat my MBP and installed the OS X Maverick. My Macbook pro able to boot up now.
    However the next day I still find my MBP keeps restarting itself (until now) and take note that I didn't install any new softwares, I only updated the available  updates in Apps Store for the OS, iBooks, and iTunes.
    Can anyone recommend me what to do? Is this a Hardware problem or software problem?
    I'm thinking to switch back to OS Lion to see whether this is mainly due to OS Maverick.
    Thank you.

    Unfortunately yes.   Since the computer is unable to boot up, that part of the software starts BEFORE the OS would.  Last time I had this problem, it turned out to be a faulty GPU (soldered to the logic board) and i needed to replace the logic board.    If you wanted to, you could indeed back up your personal data (you should ANYWAY, no matter what you do)  and you could try to do a fresh install,  but I'm fairly confident you are experiencing either faulty ram, or a faulty logic board.

  • My macbook pro is stuck on grey screen with apple symbol in center with the progress circle under it continusly spinning. After I had turned it on. Prior to turning it on I had to force close and shut down a few hours prior. Please Help?

    My macbook pro is stuck on grey screen with apple symbol in center with the progress circle under it continusly spinning. After I had turned it on. Prior to turning it on I had to force close and shut down a few hours prior. Please Help I have tried everything I know to do

    Unfortunately this means that there is a problem in the boot sector of your hard drive. It might be indicative of a fundamental corruption in the coding that allows your computer to boot your operating system from your hard drive. I had this problem twice and it resulted in me having to get a new hard drive and restore my data.
    In other words, your computer can't talk to your operating system so you can't access your data.
    Here is my advice: DON'T CALL APPLE TECH SUPPORT though they are kind and usually helpful it will take you an hour just to explain the situation and they will only tell you to do what I'm gonna say here.
    First: Shut down your computer completely
    Two: boot up while holding down the following keys: command, option, p, and r. The computer will reboot 3 times. This solution will likely fail so if you're frustrated skip to the next step.
    Three: Boot up while holding down the option key. Select recovery drive. Select your default language. Select disk utility, click on Macintosh HD, and select "verify and repair volume." Likely the verification will produce some line like "unused node not erased." Or something like that. If anything using the words "node structure" comes up, you need a new hard drive.
    If after verification and repairs you still can't boot I sincerely hope you have apple care because you will need a new hard drive. Set up an appointment to come in to the apple store, they will tell you to go and get data recovery, just ask them to give you the old hard drive. Unless you have an up to date backup in which case you can just restore from that. If you're lucky the only issue is with the boot sector which means that if you ask them to give you the old hard drive, you can buy an enclosure and you have effectively been given a free external hard drive. It still works to store data just not to load an operating system.
    If you have a back up drive bring it to the apple store and they'll do the whole thing right there, it should take around an hour and a half but may take longer.
    Hope this helps, it's annoying but it's your safest bet.
    All the best.

  • Windows 7 professional 64 Bit on MacBook Pro Retina 15 with Boot Camp ?

    Hallo guys, i have a big problem with installing Windows 7 professional 64 Bit on my MacBook Pro Retina 15 with Boot Camp. No matter what i try i get a black screen after partitioning or get a message like " No bootable disk" or  " No System Disk availabe".
    My Mac has : OS X version 10.8.2, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB memory, 2.6 GHz Intel i7 and is only a week old
    My Boot Camp is version 5.0.1
    My Windows InstallingDVD is one year old now, i needed it to build a PC last year, hope that doesnt make a difference, its a full version, so not just for upgrading.
    From what i saw in the apple support it should work on my macbook. I hope someone can help me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Ok, problem solved. I looked a bit more here in the questions and there was the answer and its quite simple.
    Somehow an USB-stick makes problems while Windows wants to install, i dont know why. So i just made everything over DVDs and now everything works fine.

  • Macbook Pro keeps restarting when watching videos online

    My Mid 2011 13in, 500GB HD, 16GB Ram Macbook Pro keeps restarting whenever I'm watching videos online be it Youtube, or Xfinity or anyother video site. Browsing online works fine, nothing happens. I also watched a movie I had on my harddrive and that worked fine as well. The problem is with online video. I even tried it on both Chrome and Safari and I still get the same result.  This started about 3 days ago now my Macbook restarts around 8-10 times a day. It has become a constant hassle that I had no issues with before. After it restarts it leaves a Kernel Panic Report reading: Can anyone help me figure out what the problem might be? Please and thank you.

    Before this, it said the hard drive died. However, replacing the brackets allowed me to continue using the original hard drive.

    The panic log indicates a hardware fault, probably in the mass-storage subsystem.
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. You may have to leave the machine there for several days.
    Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
