Hold down the Shift key immediately after turning on or restarting the computer, as long until you see the login screen. To exit Safe Mode, simply restart the Mac, without pressing any other buttons. If the computer has stopped hanging out, the problem is solved. If not, the list of suspects is reduced significantly.
The problem may be with the applications that run at logon, Wi-Fi plug or apparatus (e.g., external hard disk).

To run diagnostics, turn off the computer, then turn it on and immediately press and hold D. When the program opens, select a language and run the test. Usually, it takes only a couple of minutes.
If the problem really is related to the physical components, the screen will display a list of problems and possible solutions to them. Conveniently, the program indicates the codes of all the mistakes that you can call them directly into service.
Method 6. Contact the service center
If all the proposed methods did not work (or you figured out that the problem with the hardware), remains let only one - in the service center. A list of authorized salons there is Online Apple: you can quickly find the nearest.
