Hello Magician,
I woudl recommend a couple of things here.
First this part of the article named Your Mac won't start up in Mac OS X found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1411.
- Disconnect all peripheral devices, except for the Apple keyboard and mouse. This includes ADB, serial, USB, FireWire, SCSI, and PCMCIA devices. If this resolves the issue, connect one device at a time, restarting after each one, until you've determined which device is causing the issue.
- Remove third-party hardware upgrades such as memory (RAM), microprocessor upgrade cards, and PCI cards. If this resolves the issue, add back one item at a time, restarting after each one, to isolate the issue. Note:Apple does not provide technical support for Mac OS X when used with third-party microprocessor upgrade cards.
- Start up from your Mac OS X installation disc and check the hard disk with Disk Utility or, if necessary, fsck.
- If you are comfortable doing so, reset your computer's Power Management Unit. Specific directions are available elsewhere in the Knowledge Base.
Here is the article to reset your PMU/SMC mentioned in step 4
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

Also I would suggest resetting your PRAM if needed:

- Shut down your Mac.
- Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
- Turn on the computer.
- Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
- Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
- Release the keys.
Regards,
Sterling
