Hi...
You can try booting whilst holding down command-S to get into single user mode.

This should make obvious any error messages that are being displayed.
Then try looking up the error messages on Google (assuming you have a
spare computer, of course :)
You may also find some of these useful, although they apply to 10.3.9
(I couldn't find anything more recent):

Have fun,

Hey
This issue has happened before with many people including myself, I never
bothered trying to find a solution to the problem since it was easier to
re-image the computer. It has cropped up on this mailing list before but I'm
not sure if the latest archives have been put back online after the downtime
we had recently!
To the guys who work tirelessly for WAMUG, my thanks on efforts go out to
you!
Thanks, David Moyle

Subject: Re: Strange iMac
I have a problem with my 20" iMac. When I try to start it up it goes
through the process of starting up i.e. it shows the apple icon and
the spinning wheel then it shows the panel with the big X starting
the system, then it shows the background picture and nothing else. No
dock, no icons nothing but the background pic. Up in the top right
hand corner is a tiny piece of the spotlight icon and when I move the
cursor into that area I get the spinning coloured wheel?
Any ideas!!??
