I've read that it could be a graphics card error Mine was a GeForce 7300, if I remember correctly. I've done all the steps to fix a drive error, so I don't think it's that. I've tried booting off of the install disc (Snow Leopard, which is what the machine is running) and off of a USB stick with a Snow Leopard. I have Windows 8 installed on another internal drive and I can't boot past their version of the spinning wheel, either. I have a Mac Pro from late 2008 which turns on, makes the startup sound, and remains on the spinning wheel for about 30 seconds before the wheel freezes.
