How can i fix this Kernal/Boot Issue?

[gervacio]

I've been looking everywhere on a fix or a diagnosis on this issue. When I reboot my macbook I get the grey message you'd get if it was a kernel issue, then the apple logo comes up right after that a bunch of black codes and it reboots back to the grey message (its a never ending cycle). The only way I'm able to get onto my machine is if i turn it on while resetting NVRAM (command+option+p+r). If i were to shut it off it'll just happen again.


I have checked \Library\Logs\DiagnosticReports Folder and i can't see a kernel panic file. I do have the following in there:

I ran TechTool Pro and everything seems to be fine here are the results: https://gyazo.com/6c0911857001b58e317949ca8d97c322
DiskWarrior couldn't run because is said something about I can't run the tests on the primary drive.

The DiskUtility couldn't repair or verify my SSD because it says everything working



My computer has been working since i last got it to turn on i've just been closing it and not shutting it down, but whenever I open it i get the the USB device drawing too much power message but theres nothing plugged in.



Also i can't install a new version of OS X because when it restarts I get that never ending cycle again.



OS X Yosemite 10.10.5
Macbook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012)
Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, it'll boot up fine like that then I can restart and it boots up fine. The problem comes in when I try updating to El Capitan and it reboots, then I get the kernel errors, I can upload a picture if you like.

New information about trying to update to El Capitan. There have been many threads about start up software conflicts with the new El Capitan. Have you checked the OS X El Capitan (10.11) forum?

BTW, your running Disk Warrior problem is because it can not be run check the current Start up Volume while you are booted on it. You have to boot up from another source with Disk Warrior installed to check your normal start up disk. Disk Warrior 5 comes with a DiskWarrior Recovery Maker app that will create a bootable USB thumb drive with Disk Warrior on it so you can boot from the thumb drive to test start disk.

It might also help to download the free EtreCheck, run it, and paste the results in this thread. The list of start ups would help to identify software that might not work with El Capitan. EtreCheck automatically removes any personally identifiable information from the output so it is safe to paste in this thread.

Well then your best idea would be attaching an external drive using that as the destination for an EC install. Once you confirm it boots properly with a fresh install try either manual migration of your apps/settings or use the Migration Assistant. This is always the best way to do an upgrade like this, test on non-critical backup first then once it works to your satisfaction use something like Carbon Copy Cloner to get it back on your main install.

Start plus Option and installed Yosemite, booted up fine. Now gonna run EtreCheck. And my USB Devices are disabled so I can't run an external or use them at all

Update or uninstall your third-party apps that have kernel extensions before you try upgrading to El Capitan. This should be standard operating procedure for anyone upgrading to a new release of OS X.

In your case, I'm pointing my finger at Bluestack app player for OS X.

Agreed... I would remove all the TechToolPro and Bluestack software completely.
