When i try to install the beta for OS X El capitan, my computer crashes. The installation bar is 8/10 filled and then my computer restarts. Then when the bar shows again, a lot of text looking like codes. then my mac restarts and then it says that it restarted because of a problem.. then the same thing happens again.. the only solution is to recover to backup...
