Hello Galen, Sounds like your computer cannot load the OS. Sounds like your computer has a pretty bad Operating System corruption or a Failed Hard Drive. If you have another mac handy you can remove the hard drive and with a Sata cable check it’s health with Smart Utility. Let me know if you have any questions.
