Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

If you can't do that either, then you will probably need to reinstall 10.6.

It shouldn't affect the computer at all, just the OS. A re-install should fix the problem. Before re-installing, run Disk Utility Repair Disk and Repair Permissions.

I'd get the new disk first. Run Disk Utility Repair Disk when booted off the DVD.
