have tried everything apart from a new hdd & doing a fresh install. can only get snow leopard disc to boot. hard drive failure? does the logic board need flashing?
Is this a good question?

I would reset the SMC and PRAM first, then try booting to working external hard drive or USB.
Also, try booting into Verbose mode so that you can see where it is hanging and restarting.
