I would first try to boot into the Apple Hardware Test CD and check for hardware failure. If the hardware test passed then I would attempt to boot into single-user mood and run Applejack (or fsck if Applejack is not installed). That failing, I would boot the computer into target disk mode, access it with another Mac to backup the contents of my hard drive, then low-level format and re-install system.
