NEED HELP!

I have a macbook pro retina model. Today it restarted on it's own, and now I'm not able to turn it on without it turning off in 5 sec. I believe it's a kernel panic, i tried almost everything on the support page, but nothing helps. Ultimately I want it to actually start up, but not delete everything on my computer.

Things that I have done..

-powered it down held command option p r

-command s typed fsck -fy and rebooted

-at start up held d to test. That was bad, it sat at 1 second for 2 hours, meaning the bar didn't move

- Tried things on the recovery disk

-I don't have any time machine saves

-Can't seem to re-install mountain lion, I couldn't select Macintosh HD

-Not sure if that's what you're supposed to do

-Tried verifing disk and fix problems, says it can't

-I had BOOTCAMP but I thought if I got rid of it I could free more space on my hard drive

-partitions still stayed the same

-I belive it's up to date, I know it's using mountain lion, not sure if it's 10.8.2, 10.8.1, or just 10.8

I then decided, this is ridiculous, this is a new computer, Why would it break down??? So I came here for help, hopefully somebody could help before i go back to school, and that I don't have to go to the apple retailer. If that's the best decision, then so be it. Thanks in advance!
