G5 iMac Problem...

Hi there,

I have had my imac for about 6 months now and have encountered
no problems until Yesterday. When I turned the computer on it wouldnt
get past the opening loading screen (grey apple icon and spinning
circle) and the fan started blowing really loudly. I have tried
restarting the mac, unplugging the cords and reconnecting etc but no
luck. I have also tried leaving the mac on for about 1 hour but it
never gets past this screen and i have tried all the solutions in the
user manual but with no luck. I assume this is some sort of hardware
problem any ideas on what might be the problem?.

Any ideas/input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
