Do Appe Hardware Test. You can download it some places. Not sure where but have you restarted often? After I waited a while on a Powermac at school it finally booted up.

I believe that your system file is corrupted. Your system is trying to boot, but it fails. That is why you are getting the happy face and the question mark. You will need your bootable OS 9 media, so that you can load a fresh system file.

The flashing ? means the system folder can not be found. Use a boot cd to start up, if the hard drive is not on the screen, its crashed. If its there go into the control panel folder ,start up disk,and rebless the hard drive. If you still have problems reinstall the OS. or use nortons disk doctor.
