Your Mac stuck on white screen and you desperately grab your phone to google solutions? As it mostly happens abruptly, you need to find the fast way to bring your Mac back to life. So, let's get down to work right away!
Why my Mac stuck on white screen?Troubleshooting case: Fixing a blue screen issue in OS X. Already updated the program and Firefox is a well used program that is not known to have this problem by itself on the Mac OS. If your Mac displays a blue screen at startup. If you see a blank blue screen or a blue screen with a colored pinwheel when you try to start your Mac, but starting up doesn't progress, you may have a problem with damaged or incompatible startup items or software.
Macs are reliable computers, but on the rare occasions they may encounter trouble and won't load. When this happens, you see a blank white screen, your Mac becomes pretty much unusable, and you keep asking yourself, 'Why won't my MacBook turn on?'
Usually, this happens after updating your operating system to a new version, when dealing with incompatible drivers, or if some applications fail to upgrade. This results in a blank screen on Mac until some steps are taken to bring your computer back to its normal state.
How to fix the MacBook white screenBefore you do anything to solve the Mac frozen screen, try an easy fix: check your peripherals. Try to disconnect all of them (printers, scanners, USB devices, etc.) with the exception of the keyboard and mouse. Then reboot your Mac. If it boots up now, one of those peripherals is the source of the plain white screen problem. However, if it fails and your MacBook won't load, check out other possible ways to wake up your Mac.
1. Boot into safe modeA safe boot feature in macOS and Mac OS X was designed for troubleshooting purposes. It allows to check the disk for all possible file system errors and if needed, a repair would be run. Starting your Mac in safe mode is the first thing you should do when your Mac won't turn on.
To start up in safe mode:
Press the power button, then immediately press and hold the Shift key.
When you see the Apple logo, release the Shift key.
Once you boot using safe mode, the very first thing is deleting cache files. A cache is a place where data is stored temporarily to help things load faster. But eventually, files in a cache become outdated and start to pile up on your Mac, resulting in a white screen problem. Here's a comprehensive guide 'How to clear cache on a Mac.'
After you've deleted the cache files, you should also remove recently installed applications. But note that dragging them to the Trash is not the right way to remove apps as it leaves behind tons of associated files on your Mac. But don't worry, there is a utility that will help you — CleanMyMac X. Its Uninstaller module is designed to uninstall apps completely, with no leftover parts and pieces behind. 
Simply download the app (it's free to try), launch it, choose Uninstaller and select the app you want to delete. Click Uninstall and the application will be removed completely. As simple as that!

As you've removed all the clutter, restart as normal without pressing any keys during startup. Probably you won't see that MacBook white screen anymore.
2. Reset PRAM/NVRAM

PRAM/NVRAM is a small amount of memory that your Mac uses to store certain settings and access them quickly. These settings include sound volume, time zone, startup disk selection, and more. If you experience some issues related to these settings, resetting PRAM might fix your MacBook stuck on white screen.

Don't worry, it won't affect your files, apps, user setting, etc. Only a fresh version of the macOS will be installed on your Mac again. Here's how to do that for macOS Sierra, macOS High Sierra, macOS Mojave and macOS Catalina.
