There is a MacBook Pro from 2012 with Mountain Lion that won't boot. The Apple logo is showing, the spinning wheel and then it just goes to a solid grey screen.

I've tried to hold Cmd+R while booting, this does nothing.

I've tried to hold Shift while booting, this goes to a solid blue screen
-
I've tried to hold Cmd+Option+R while booting, this does nothing either.
I'd rather not re-install OS X. Do I need to reset the NVRAM?

I would recommend following Apple's guide regarding the gray screen at startup.
Have you installed any new firmware/drivers or software that might be the issue? Worst-case scenario is a re-install I'm afraid.
