Hi, my iMac (1st gen 24") crashed while closing QuickTime and ever since won't boot! It gets to the apple symbol and the loading circle thing then goes onto just a blank grey screen!

It seems to be forever loading but nothing happens. Tried it in safe mode, and tried to boot into recovery after pressing alt but that doesn't load either. Vista gives me the blue screen unless I boot up in safe mode then windows will work. Any ideas!? It's lion so have no DVD to boot from??
