The fact that you got a "bong" or chime was good. Did you try Safe
boot holding the Shift key?
I couldn't even reset the PRAM, no second bong.
Might be a keyboard issue? Something could have happened the the
keyboard when you were gone?
I tried reseating the 3 RAM-sticks, 2 512 and one 1024 MB, still no
go.
If you get stuck, remove RAM to only one stick at a time.
I don't think it's likely this is a power supply problem.
You might try booting a install CD/DVD and running Disk Utility on the
HD. You also might consider reinstalling the latest Combo Update if
you have further problems. For certain do a Safe Boot holding the
shift key because this will trash problematic cache files and get you
a relatively clean start.
