Everytime I try to enter my password, I keep getting the rainbow wheel. It goes for a couple of minutes then stops. As soon as I move the mouse it starts again. I was able to use safe mode to get past the login screen, and complete the download of El Capitan, but when I restarted it keeps coming back. I have no idea what to do.

I reverted back to Yosemite last night with a time machine backup and had no problem with this rainbow wheel.

This is happening on a MacBook Air early 2014.
