I remember this a while back with some iMacs. There was a capacitor problem
with some iMac G5's (not sure what iMac you have) that was covered by Apple.
But others fixed the problem by wiping the hard drive clean and re-installing
OS X.
This link has some other options.

Subject: [muglo] Mac Startup
My recently acquired second hand computer, a 20" iMac running under
OSX 10.4.11, has just developed, after a few months, an annoying
startup problem:
When I start up the computer, it starts black as normal, then goes
blue and then the Apple symbol appears followed by the usual small
whirling bars; this lasts for a short time and then it shuts down
with a short clicking sound... If I then start up again, usually all
goes well and the startup completes it's cycle... though occasionally
the first startup repeats and the third attempt works normally...
There has always been a peculiar volume problem from the start in
which the volume dropped to zero at about the half way point... I had
this checked under the 30-day warranty and was told that it was ok
which struck me as odd but I could live with it... but wonder now if
there is any connection?
Could this be a hardware or software problem?
Any ideas would be appreciated...
Paul
