Macbook Pro (early 2011) restarting continuously El Capitan

I upgraded to El Capitan on an extra Macbook I have and it hasn't booted up once, it keeps restarting about 80% into the load process. Has anyone else seen this or know of a fix? I might restore from my backup.

So far all I have been able to do is restart in safe boot. Hold shift while starting up

Did you have a Boot Camp partition configured on this machine?

I tried this and after showing me the loading progress bar after I put in my password it crashes and reboots, every time.

No I don't

Accepted Answer

I have a solution that at least worked for me on my early 2013 Retina MBP.


  1. Boot into Safe Mode (hold Shift during boot)
  2. Remove /System/Library/Extensions/SXUPTP.kext

    I believe this is where it was - you can also just search for SXUPTP.kext

  3. Restart

Thanks! That did it!

It worked! Thank you!!

I have the same problem on my MB Air 13" Mid 2012, but when booting in Safe-Mode I can't find the file "SXUPTP.kext" in Finder?
