El Capitan Combo Update

I installed El Capitan and since then my iMac won't start up - it hangs at the grey screen with Apple logo and loading bar. I have literally tried and researched everything;

Unplugged the computer and waited

Unplugged and held in the power button

Tried to start up in Safe mode - it won't

Not unless you either reinstall from an earlier version of OS X El Capitan and then use the 10.11.3 combo update, or have a Time Machine backup from 10.11.3. For most users, OS X 10.11.5 should be fine, and most Mac users didn’t have problems with OS X 10.11.4 either. Aside from El Capitan, Mac users running prior versions of OS X will also find a security update available which is recommended to install. Updating a Mac to OS X 10.11.4 Mac users running a prior version of OS X can find the latest version available now from the Mac App Store, the App Store represents the easiest way to install the software.

Tried the startup manager (Option key at startup)

Tried OS X Recovery mode (Cmd + R at start up)

Tried Cmd, option, P and R

Removed my extra ram and replaced it...


I know there is nothing wrong with my hardware as I did run the First Aid test and no errors were found - discs work perfectly. My thought is that it should be the OS that causes this as I had no errors beforehand.

'Your OSX 10.11 El Capitan Is Infected With 3 Viruses!' Is just one of many scams of this type, and very similar to Your System Is Infected With 3 Viruses, This Mac Is Not Secure, Your MacOS 10.12 Sierra Is Infected With 3 Viruses, and a number of others.


I have read here that if I install the combo update, this might solve my issue. My question is: when will it be released?

I have made an appointment at my local Apple store but before then I want to try and solve this myself (I only have backups of my most important files, so if I can avoid erasing my disc, this would be awesome).
