My G4 has gone nuts!!!

So I start up the computer one day and get a blue screen. I try to reinstall OS X 10.0 (I do plan on getting Panther when it comes out.) and then all I get is a blue screen with the dock at the bottom. The Finder icon is bouncing, and when I click it it says "finder not running". I have no icons on my desktop. Not even a hard drive icon. I can get on the internet, but if I try to download anything it shuts explorer down. I've tried everything I know to do. Has anybody ever seen this?

I'm going to assume that you've tried to restart several times, to see if the problem just goes away.

Have you tried booting from your install/recovery cd?
