Frozen Blue Screen-Tiger
So my MacBook (Running 10.4.11) is freezing at the grey and blue screens the story goes as follows;
1-\tI turned off my computer (Using shutdown not actually just pressing the button) and realized I actually wanted to do one more thing on it
2-\tI turned it back on and it took about 5 minutes to load past the grey then blue screen finally bringing up my wallpaper and but with nothing else. I.e. no dock or any icons. At this point I manually shut if off and turned it back on
3-\tNow whenever I try to turn it back on it takes about 4-5 minutes to load past the grey screen then gets stuck at the blue screen.
I have NOT installed any new software
Any ideas as to why this is happening or how it can be fixed?

Try to boot to the install DVD/CD and try to do a disk repair/permissions repair on the internal HDD. If you know a little bit about using the terminal, you can check the system log (or the console, if you can get it to boot) to find out what happened before the shutdown.
