Mac Help

I have a Mac computer that runs on a G3 processor. It has no internet
connection, so nothing online could have caused the problem. I've had
it for about 5/6 months now.

Because I can't access the log-on screen, I can't troubleshoot for
help. It started after I woke up one morning and turned the monitor on,

which I always turn off. It had the screensaver frozen, and that wasn't

really my big concern. I moved the mouse and the screen turned black,
so then I restarted it. Now it turns on, but it stays at the grey
start-up screen. The last activity on the computer was that I had left
something on photoshop on (about 5 megs).


Anyway, to get to the problem:


I shut my computer off about once a week, so it might have overheated.
But last night I completely shut it off and sat with about 7 fans for 2

hours cooling it off. I then went to bed, and woke up 12 hours later.


I've unplugged/replugged everything back and have checked all the
cables. I have wiped it clean, and nothing seems to be out of place.


I turned it on this morning, but it's still stuck at the gray screen
(w/the apple and wheel). I rebooted it twice last night as well. I
don't know what more I can do except understand what the problem is. I
have about 2 gigs left on the computer.


If anyone knows how to help, please post or send me an email. Thank you

:)
