macbook won't start up

When I turn on the MacBook, I get the startup tone, the apple logo on a grey screen and the spinning gear.

But the MacBook never starts up.


I've tried starting from Safe Mode, but it still just gets to the apple logo on a grey screen, with a forever spinning gear.

MacBook, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), late 2008
