Hi all,
I have a 2008 iMac which has Yosemite on it. I've also tried El Capitan, but they both have a black screen when I boot. When I press shift upon boot it boots into safe boot and I can use it. Any idea why this happens? Also, in safe boot there are some white lines during animations which slowly go away and the dock looks faded. Thanks
