So I'm in the middle of exams and I really need my Mac to work. Every time I go to turn it on my Mac freezes and the loading bar doesn't make it to the half way mark. I've tried multiple solutions but unfortunately my computer continues not to load anything. I really don't know a lot about computers so please bare with me!

Where there any symptoms or changes before your startup problem?
What model/year Mac?
What OS?
Any backups available?

Here are some startup key combinations you might try to see what happens:
