Macs are a powerful machine. Unlike Windows, they just work. You turn it ON, do your work and then turn it OFF. However, today while I was installing an OpenVPN client on my iMac (macOS Sierra Version 10.12.6) I got a weird error saying.

I have a imac from mid 2011 with 8 GB Memory & 3 TB Hard Drive running Mac OS X 10.10.5. Since yesterday my mac will boot and then shut down.
