I left my MacBook at home unplugged when I went of vacation. When I came back it was dead and will not turn on all the way. After I plugged it in I pressed the power button and it went to the screen in the pictures attached. Once it loads about half way the computer shuts off. Any idea what's going on?
Got a tip for us?

The MacBook was left sleeping when you left for vacation. Then as you were gone the fella died out. So now it is trying to restore from the hibernation image. However, it seems that the hibernation image is corrupted from the battery completely dying before it could totally create the image. Try resetting the PRAM and SMC.
