G4 boots only to Darwin

I fell asleep last night listening to music on iTunes. Only apps open were iTunes and Mail. When I woke up this morning, I couldn't get Safari or Firefox to launch (bounced around in the dock and then just stopped). I re-booted. Now it only boots to Darwin. When I turn on the computer, the OS loading box pops up and the blue line moves across to the right as if its fine, but when it gets almost to the end, the screen blacks out and then I'm in Darwin. Prompts me for my userID and Password (which work fine) but

I tried to reinstall my 10.4 disk (achieve and install option) and got a error, told me to try again...when I clicked try again, she re-booted.

I am a total novice at this and Looking for any help?

Not sure it matters but the machine is completely up to date on downloads from Apple.
