I tried searching but couldn't find the exact same problem. My IMAC (G5) stopped working and gets to the gray apple screen and just loads there forever. Tried to boot the OSX CD on power-up but it won't run the disk either. Any ideas?

LOL same exact thing happened to me. You need a new hard drive. I have an Imac g5 a1058, first one released. I just found out it was the hard drive yesterday. Just switch out the hard drive.
