Well what operating system? If it is older you may have to boot from the system install disk.

It was I think lion 10.1

Lion = 10.7

OS 10.1 = Puma (and was released in 2001). I'm assuming it can't be this…unless this is a 15 year-old Apple computer.

I'm assuming there's a typo in your post.

Think you are up for a new hard drive. Be aware some late 2010/2011 models require a special hard drive with heat sensors. Apple did not consider this to be 'User Upgradeable' so your best option may be to take to an Apple Store or reseller to have the drive replace. Signs of a drive replaced without the correct heat sensors is like a Jumbo roaring down the runway the fans go that high.

Is sounds like some thing turn off and the logo is stuck
I bought it 2012 I think
How much it will be cost if I bring to the Apple Store to change

I think it hard drive gone but I am not sure .how I cant find out it its hard drive or not

Boot into Recovery Mode. If it doesn't access the drive it is gone.

Tried to start my iMac and it just sits there and beeps. Bought in 2010 and running Yosemite. Called Geek Squad and they said cheaper to but new machine. Any thoughts?

Try this, https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295.

This is an older thread so it would have been better to start a new one. That said, take a look at the suggestions in this thread and try the suggestions to see if anything works. Geek Squad would not have been my first - or even last - place to go for suggestions. If you have an Apple store close by that would be the best place to go for a free diagnostics. But if that is not an option try the suggestions in this link:

Post back and let us know what you find out.
