Restart problems

After trying to wipe out my hard drive (because I was gonna send it in for repairs) the Mac seems to be going around in loops in start up. After the usual apple logo upon start up, the loading bar would go up halfway before an error msg occurs and the com would not start up and loops back to the Apple logo. Any ideas pls.

I Mac won’t start up. Keeps saying your computer restarted because of a problem My Mac won’t start up. It was unplugged during a shutdown, and now it restarts over and over. I’ve tried holding command+option+p+r. Also I tried booting up in safe mode by holding shift on startup and nothing happens. Can someone point me in the right direction or at least tell me what the problem is?

Restarting problem Hi, I need help. My work Mac is basically brand new and it keeps randomly freezing and then it just restarts itself. When it is booting up again there's a black screen saying "Your Mac restarted due to a problem". Found out online that it means the Mac is starting up in verbose mode. I've tried using "sudo nvram boot-args=" in terminal but it didnt seem to do anything. We reinstalled the OS, downloaded CleanmyMac and ran a diagnosis to check for hardware problems and found nothing. I've attached some images showing info regarding storage etc.
