Just now I was playing an online game when the whole screen freezed..
I couldn't seem to do anything so I forced a restart with the power button..

But now whenever I try to restart it, the chime will start to sound.. then it will start again.. and again.. and again..

Whole 3 mins and the chime is still going and the apple logo does come up nor does the busy circle appear..

Someone Help me!

Have you tried starting up in single user mode? (im sorry i don't know what the shortcut is. Maybe holding "S" while booting?)

Nothing happends, the chime just starts, cuts off, and starts again..
I've tried resetting the PRAM, resetting the Power Manager, booting from the CD.. which my Apple disk 1 is now stuck inside now it seems, and going into single user mode (Cmd+S).. nothing

every time the chime just starts, cuts off and starts again..
