Mini Booting to Blue Screen.. HELP!!

[ipodtoucher]

Ok here's the back story. I plugged in my Nikon D50 like always and when Aperture started to open, it quit. Nothing would open, so I restarted. After restart it booted into a blue screen and the mouse cursor would blink on and off.

I booted from the install disk and repaired disk. Everything checked out to be OK, I restarted and same thing happened, so I then repaired permissions and restarted, and still nothing. I'm freaking out. I hope there is a fix

Sorry, I didn't search because I am so frazzled trying to find a cure. Please please please help, I hae to use this Gateway laptop

Do you have Windows via Boot Camp installed on your Mac?

What kind of blue - like the Windows Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) or the blue short before logging into Mac OS X is almost completed?

What happens if you start the Mac an press and hold the Option/Alt key? - It should show you all bootable devices connected to your Mac.

I don't have Windows on my Mac(yucky! lol) so it's the blue like before logging in. I held Option and it showed the HDD and the install disk...

Try re-booting without anything plugged in to USB - mine was doing this yesterday and it was because my iPod Shuffle was plugged in.

I've unplugged everything even my external Hard Drive...

Nothing?

If I can't get anything else, I guess I have to call Apple lol yay

Safe mode (shift key held down)?

Verbose mode to see if any error message pop up (Cmd-V).

Ok did Verbose mode and it comes up saying it saved the crash report somewhere

after startup it says can't find host time.apple.com

got a new slew of messages:
configd[14] Error: No interface name for AirPort_Athr5424ab
configd[14] Error: ioPublishedDriverCallback() failed to inltDeviceFromService()

Does this mean my Airport is fried?
