For the last few hours, I have been trying to get my computer to boot.

At first, the problem was like the one in this article:
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/327145-28-black-screen-blinking-cursor-left-help

Now the issue has changed. Every time I boot, where the blinking cursor was, there is just no video output. I tried my windows 7 install disk (the exact one I installed windows with), and it just says that the version of windows on my computer is incompatible for repair options.

I'm honestly out of ideas. It won't boot, and now I got a $2000 paperweight, and I can't afford a new computer. Help would be appreciated.

I suppose I should mention that my computer came with windows 7 OEM, which I replaced with the same version, but not OEM. Not sure if that changes anything.
