My 2 day old MacBook was loading updates...But it froze, so I switched it off. When I switched it back on, it had loads of text in the background when it loads and then a message comes up saying it needs to be re-started...That's it. Nothing more! Help!?

It should still be under warranty if it came with one. I would take it back to where you bought it.

That is precisely what I'd do. Skip

Yeah, of course it is still under warranty. It just seems like it's something I've caused and something I could fix? It's a hike to the store lol so I thought I'd see if I could fix it.

Problem is that it could be a hardware issue and not just a pooched upgrade...we don't know and you don't know. Too many places to look and too many possible fixes to take a chance with a brand new machine. Skip
