I just installed the latest update for the El Capitan Beta. It required a system restart and when my computer restarted, it brought up the boot up code and gets stuck there. I can only boot to recovery mode for about 5 minutes before it crashes. Posting from my wife's computer. What do I do?

Restart your Mac and press/hold CMD + R. It will start in recovery mode and you can reinstall OS X.

Or you can download OS X in your wife computer (only if it is a Mac) and prepare a USB Pendrive with OS X and after reinstall in your Mac, switch on and press/hod alt(option) key...
