    Start Mac OS X in Verbose (Hold CMD+V during boot), and see what's going on.

    If you can't even start it in verbose, you might need to re-image/re-install 10.5

    Since you have Windows Installed, your BootCamp drivers have enabled Read-Only for your HFS+J Disk, back up all your data that way, and Re-install 10.5
