I have an HP ProBook 4530s i5 Sandy Bridge with OS X 10.8.4.
HWMonitor said there was an update availaible, if I wanted to download and install it. I installed it, then it said I had to restart the computer. I clicked restart, but now it doesn't boot, it is stucked at the grey Apple logo with the white background screen.

Can someone help me what to do?
 
I tried SMC reset, and tried to reset nvram and safe boot into OS X but didn't work.

The HWMonitor update.

If that includes a new FakeSMC, I would not recommend it. Recent builds of FakeSMC have been very unstable as of late. In addition, we use a special build for the ProBook (my fork). If that's what you did, you will need to re-install FakeSMC. You can download it by following the links in the README.md here: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-FakeSMC-kozlek

Yes, it included a new FakeSMC update as well. The problem is that I can't re-install or remove neither FakeSMC nor HWMonitor because my ProBook won't boot, it's stuck at the grey Apple boot logo with a wheel spinning.
So my question is how to solve this problem without reinstalling the OS X?
