Try Zapping the PRAM.
Also, as someone else mentioned, check you RAM:
- If you have only one chip, move it to the other slot
- If you have two:
- Try swapping them.
- Remove one. If it boots without it, that one's bad.
- If it still doesn't boot, put the first one back and remove the other one.
Good luck,
...ROMeyn
