At the moment I am trying the "Choose Startup Disk" option and choose the partition but I only see the wheel of death.Īfter doing a verbose boot, the system did infact reboot after approximately 3 hours. I have installed Lion twice since then also, but if I do a restart it never boots further than the grey Apple logo and spinning wheel like the very first time. I have done the hardware test multiple times since then and everything checks out fine. ![]() After rebooting the system once, I couldn't boot it again. After installing the system, the Spinning wheel of death appears very frequently, but I put that down the indexing which had a remaining time of 5 days. I had all my data on an external drive so I did a complete restore back to Lion 10.7.5. One morning I couldn't boot it up.Īfter doing the Apple Hardware Test which showed faulty RAM I put back my old 4GB (2x2GB) RAM sticks, retested and had no errors. I have a MacBook Pro 8,1 (Early 2011) / 8GB (2x4GB RAM) /256 SSD and was running El Captain.
