Hi Leon,
Can I suggest that now is the time to either take your computer to the computer shop or ask someone over who is technical in this area. This is a hard one to diagnose, (I can think of many things it may be), but as you don't really know what you are doing, you may not know exactly what order to apply the suggested help.
From what I have read so far on this thread, you can get a command prompt which means that the computer is at least booting and has a valid hard disk.
Your hard disk may have bad sectors on it and perhaps that is the reason it won't boot into Windows.
My guess is, assuming that all you hardware is OK, is that your boot sector is faulty and needs rebuilding. How to overcome this is to boot with the original disk that has the operating system you installed, and then use this disk to repair the existing version of Windows. There are many many webpages with how to do this so I will suggest to look them up as it's a fairly simple task. If you do not have the original disk then another disk with the same OS, should also work.
I won't go into the procedure now as I have forgotten exactly the sequence, but as I say, there are heaps of websites with the info, just Google 'pc wont boot up, windows repair' etc....
If you do have a hardware failure somewhere that is causing this, then you need to take it to someone who can diagnose hardware issues.
Hope this help,
Cheers,
Damien.
P.S If you get really stuck after all the advice, have no IT friends and low on cash, even though I'm not an IT expert, I can at least offer to step you through a couple of things to determine if it's a hardware issue or not.
Text me on 0414541487 and we can arrange a time for you to call me. I live in Adelaide. I'm only available after 1pm on weekends though. Or perhaps after hours from 9pm onwards during the week. Just ensure you have all the disks etc ready.
