Guessing from what you've posted...
Sounds like you had some kind of overheat problem...this could have done alot of things or nothing.
If you had heat problems during a hard drive write action it could have wrote some bad data that may have made the drive or OS unbootable. Thats the feeling I"m getting from what you said.
A few more tries at trying to have the computer boot the drive might be useful. The harddrive spin down sounds like the system may have actualy shut down the harddrive for its own reasons (heat?)
Try opening the case, checking all your fans at boot and also letting a little more air in there.
If you get it to boot, start troubleshooting heat and hardware failures as best you can.
