I recently got a new refurbished hard drive because my old one was causing errors and wouldn't let me boot into my PC, it was just a black screen. And now, after installing a new OS (windows 7 professional upgraded from home premium)

First it blue screened and blueberries again and now I can't get into my Co outer at all. I've tried ...

.Booting from the windows recovery disk, gets stuck at windows logo then a black screen with cursor

.Start with safe mode. Nothing

I don't think windows is detective my new hard drive because when I ran a system repair it said there was "no detectable disk drive". But this is weird because it was working fine until last night and now it's crapped out again.

Could it be a driver issue? My PC is premade and I bought it 3 years ago. Can someone please help because it's so disheartening and I really don't know what else to try and am considering buying a new pc all together which will take months.

Could my old hard drive problem have been with fragmenting? I don't know what tripped the hard drove but in the 4 years I've had my hard drive, I have not reformatted it or defragmentated it once.
