Put the disk marked "Operating System Windows 7" in the drive,
restart the computer, tap the F12 key firmly every second until you get a menu,
choose the DVD drive to boot,
when you get the Prompt to "Press any key to boot DVD" hit Enter.
On first screen choose Language and keyboard options, click Next.
On second screen choose "Repair My Computer"
Let it find an installation to Repair, choose the installation, click Recovery Tools to run Startup Repair repeatedly with reboots.
Report back what it finds.
Hello Rythemz.
I did some research on your computer and apparently its a company that makes gaming computers and what not. I am beginning to wonder if its not your graphics card. I also found an article of someone else's suggestion that pressing the F2 key AND DELETE keys at the SAME time should get you into the BIOS screen. If that does not work try just the F2 key alone. If that does not work try the DELETE key alone. You will need to power down the computer for each of these attempts to get into the BIOS.
If your able to get into the BIOS this hopefully tell you if the video card has some functionality and at the same time allow you to make sure that the CD/DVD drive is slated to boot first. Also try to see then if the DVD drive will open and close and has the right Windows 7 repair or installation disk from Alienware.
Any warranty left on the computer ?

Alienware = Dell.
It boots from the same F12 one-time BIOS boot key as Dell.
Or set DVD drive to boot first in BIOS setup as suggested by Victor:
How to Boot your Computer from a Bootable CD or DVD
No correction needed, Victor. I believe entering BIOS setup on Alienware is indeed F2 + DEL.
I was just providing the shortcut key to a BIOS boot menu to give OP easiest method possible at this point.
It would be good if he can enter BIOS setup to check the video card settings and DVD drive boot order as you suggest.
