My mac book pro shuts down after being powered on

[ricksant01]

My mac book pro 13" 2012 is shutting down after being powered on. It was behaving weirdly, randomly crashing but restarting back fine. Now I can't get it to restart as it simply shuts down after being powered on.

Any idea of what might be going on here? A virus maybe?

Thanks,

Welcome to our forums.

Not a virus because there aren't any that can infect your MacBook Pro. Try this: Boot your MacBook Pro and as soon as you hear the bong sound, hold down the command + r keys and keep holding them down until you see the apple symbol appear on the screen. If successful, that will get you into recovery. While in recovery, select Utilities, Disk Utility, and run First Aid on your hard drive. Tell us what the results are (if any).

If your MacBook Pro is shutting down as soon as you power it on, it may be an overheat problem. Let it cool off for a while and try again. There can be other things wrong that will shut the machine down as soon as you power it on, however, try what I suggested first. Let us know.

Hi thank you for your reply.
I ran first aid on my hard drive. Results attached.



Not sure where to go from here.

Thank you so much for your help.

You are running First Aid On the Base System. You need to run it on the Macintosh HD.
