Interesting - Your init process commits suicide. Can you get into recovery mode or safe mode? Is it possible to boot an OS from an external disk? (No matter if it's Linux, macOS or Windows). – If you can't boot anything, try running an Apple Hardware Test.Hey guys, I'm in deep trouble. My iMac 2011 no longer starts up. Attached is a photo of what comes up on my screen every time I turn it on. Did this ever happen to anyone? Please help me solve this problem without losing all my files.
I was able to get to Recovery mode but was unable to install macOS Sierra for some reason. It said something like, "we need to verify that your apple is legit" or something close to those lines..Interesting - Your init process commits suicide. Can you get into recovery mode or safe mode?

I have access to my MacBook Pro. So do I download sierra onto a flash drive and reinstall on Recovery mode from there?That usually just means you need to enter an Apple ID - No prompt came up asking for one? – Do you have access to another Mac? That issue should be avoided if you create a bootable USB or something from an App Store download, since in that case, it'll verify with the Apple ID used for the download
If you don't have access to another Mac, try booting in Safe Mode and seeing if you can download it from the App Store then.
