My MacBook crashed and now it wont boot up!
Hi guys,
I am hoping you can help solve my problem, I decided to dual boot my old macbook A1342 with windows 7 using bootcamp. However this has been running fine for a couple of days, but then all of a sudden today I was running a few minor updates and I needed to put my magsafe charger in as my mac was about to cut out of charge and it crashed! The screen froze nothing was active, I left the macbook for a couple of minutes but still nothing... So I held the power button in for 10 seconds to force my machine to turn off so I could restart it and now it looks as if its about to boot up due to the white light on the side but the screen stays black.
I then decided to read more about faults and how to fix them so I decided to try and jump the logic board by disconecting the keyboard and trackpad, this did not work... Infact it seems as if my macbook is stuck in some sort of boot loop as The fan will be active when it turns on then the machine cuts out and turns itself back on again? I also disconected the battery with no charger attached to try and fix the theory of a loop in the boot but nothing!!
Hopefully you will have some advice that couldnt go a miss, thanks for reading :)

You talk about a dual boot what do you mean here? Do you have a second drive in your system?

Nope just the one hard drive partitioned

Technically you are running a VM with Windows via BootCamp.

Could you explain what "VM" means? I'm not very technical and I dont understand?

VM - Virtual Machine. Here's a good writeup: Dual Boot or Run Windows in a Virtual Machine?. What confuses people here when you dual boot all you're doing is running via the BootCamp services in dedicated mode (can't switch between the two OS's on the fly). The install is still a full BootCamp install and the active partition & boot loader is Apples, not Microsofts.
