freezes on boot

I have a mid 2011 iMac running Software OS X 10.8.2 (12C60). Issue is that it will freeze on reboot to a grey textile screen and it requires several reboots. I have updated all firmware (graphics FW update 2.0 is not applicable) so I'm kinda stuck. Any suggestions?

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), Mid 2011

Have a look at > Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup


Then if disconnecting everything and a Safe Boot doesn't fix it, boot from your Mountain Lion Recovery Partition and Repair or Reinstall OS X. see > OS X: About OS X Recovery
