Why can´t I boot up my machine after installing a newer system?

Boot Crashes - Check Your Printer Queue

If your machine crashes or freezes every time you boot, and you have an unprinted document waiting, attempting to print may be the reason. To clear the print queue:
Restart with the extensions off (hold down Shift during restart) and locate your desktop printer icon (it may have an X through it). Drag it to the trash to clear your print queue, then try another reboot.
