It's getting to the same point in the boot process and failing on both internal and external boot systems, indicating some kind polling problem - something's not answering correctly. But that could be a software issue (broken file) or a hardware issue (something like an add-on card or even a bad stick of RAM). It's hard to tell.
Age is a factor, so if you haven't already done so, check your RAM by pulling/replacing one stick at a time.
Sometimes a dying (but not yet dead) drive will cause this problem at start up too…
These've all been mentioned, but they seem like the most likely culprits.
Good luck.
