OEM software can only be installed on the machine it shipped with or is bound to. That is why the license is cheaper. HP and every other company batches their recovery disks together, they also may leave things out like recovery console.
Where is the original? Burned disks still have a rate of failure, and I typically like to use the real actual media.
Is there any data on here you must have?
Easy thing to test is to swap out the keyboard, only takes a few seconds and it will tell you if that was the problem or not.

Can also be faulty data cabling to the HardDrive or CD Drive
Can also be faulty PSU (Strange I know, but faulty power supplies can cause strange issues)

Ok you're downloading Live Ubuntu
By the way, when all this is up and running again you may want to create UBCD4Win BootCd, but you need a working Windows (or CD) first (better to create this with a working system actually)
Then if you have any faults again one day, you can just use that one (much better
)

im thinking of just getting all my data and formatting it, loading windows 7 rc on it and then loading the actual windows 7, cuz i got it pre ordered, that sound like a good idea?, ya i no the beta is supposed to stop working but u can crack it

Well the Beta being RC will actually continue to work for a while anyway
But if you're installing the bought "Upgrade" Windows 7 then you may as well put Vista (or XP or whatever you originally had on it) And then wait for the authentic Windows 7 Upgrade Disc and install that.
What all this really means is that you don't want to hold much Data or Programs on your computer presently, as you may end up wiping the lot anyway.

By the way, "cracking" is not supported, and this thread can be subject to closure due to this further information
