Os X 10.11 6 Combo Update

I installed El Capitan and since then my iMac won't start up - it hangs at the grey screen with Apple logo and loading bar. I have literally tried and researched everything;

For example, with a Combo Updater, you could update from OS X 10.11 directly to Mac OS X 10.11.4, thereby skipping the in-between 10.11.1, 10.11.2, and 10.11.3 updates entirely. The only real catch is that combo updaters must be used to update within major releases (for example, any El Capitan point release, but not from Mavericks to El Capitan.

Mac Os X 10.11.6 Combo Update

Tried to start up in Safe mode - it won't

Mac

Tried the startup manager (Option key at startup)

Tried OS X Recovery mode (Cmd + R at start up)

Tried Cmd, option, P and R

Removed my extra ram and replaced it...


I know there is nothing wrong with my hardware as I did run the First Aid test and no errors were found - discs work perfectly. My thought is that it should be the OS that causes this as I had no errors beforehand.


Apple Update Os X 10.11

I have read here that if I install the combo update, this might solve my issue. My question is: when will it be released?


I have made an appointment at my local Apple store but before then I want to try and solve this myself (I only have backups of my most important files, so if I can avoid erasing my disc, this would be awesome).


Thanks in advance.
