Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup).


Start up from macOS Recovery

To start up from macOS Recovery, turn on your Mac and immediately press and hold ...


Command (⌘)-R


Installs the latest macOS that was installed on your Mac.


If both those fail it may be a dying Hard Drive or other hardware problem.
