Start by reviewing the steps in If your Mac doesn't start up all the way - Apple Support, specifically the following:


"Learn what to do if your Mac starts up to an Apple logo or progress bar."


I understand no message appears, but if you are unable to boot Recovery and nothing else helps the steps described in If an error occurred while updating or installing macOS - Apple Support will be required.
