If it worked before, then stopped working, the possibilities are, in rough order of likelihood:

1) Bad disk (or bad block in boot record);
2) Bad memory;
3) Bad power supply (are all the fans working?);
4) Failing motherboard.

Most likely is the disk. Put another one in and try to rebuild the system. If so, it is still possible you might be able to recover the disk contents (if it is a bad block and nothing more serious).

I would suggest you post the output from the serial terminal but I almost always just migrate all the data because I can do that faster then playing around with a old messed up drive.

Being appliance based we can get back online fast.
