This can happen when

(a) start up scripts are screwed

(b) required volumes cannot be mounted

I suggest

1. you boot it in single-user mode and try and mount every volume in /etc/fstab or it's equivalent.

This may require doing fsck on each volume.

2. do a back up of the system.

3. try and guide it into multiuser mode step by step, this may require going through /etc/inittab with a fine tooth comb and confirm everything works.

If the system does a POST (power on self test) then it could also be hardware, check for bad memory, defective plug in card (NIC, vga, etc).
