Texas, unfortunately.
Recently, the charger died for my Early 2011 MBP, so it's been sitting unused for a little over a week until today when I got a new charger for it - but it won't start up. It powers on, but as soon as the loading bar underneath the Apple logo appears, so does this text in the corner of the screen - after a second or two, it restarts, and continues this process in a loop. What could be wrong?

Not sure what the problem could be but have you tried booting in safe mode, smc reset, pram reset, trying one stick of ram at one time, or booting from an external drive?
