Q: imac cannot boot up

I have an iMac G5 OSX 10.4. It stays on the Apple sign when it starts up and then the fan comes full on. It cannot boot up.  I have tried the following:

 

1. Command+Option+P+R to reset PRAM

2. Hold C or Option+C on start up (with original installation CD or Snow Leopard CD), the disc is just ejected

3. Tried to boot in Single User Mode and typed /sbin/fsck -fy.  It came back error and then the fan came full on.

4. Tried to start while holding down Shift key, but it did not go to Safe mode

 

Any suggestions please?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.11), iMac G5
