Alright so I upgraded my computer from windows Vista to windows 7 like 3 months ago so it's not too much or not too little. I had a little trouble with the installation but in the end everything is working fine with my upgrade (I'm not sure if this is relevant to my problem). SO recently my computer has been shutting down on me, it has happened like five times. As I tried to fix the problem and use start up repair it said the problem could not be fixed so I clicked on "Show more details" or whatever and it showed me Some "Signature" with numbers next to them and on signature 6 it said something like "osversionmismatch". I tried everything ! going back in time with system recovery point and also try to log in to safe mode but I cant... it either stays at the screen where is says "Windows is starting" with the logo on top or it gets past that and shows a black screen with a cursor on it. You can move the cursor around (But what good does that do on a black screen?)

I would really appreciate it if you guys could help me with my computer I really need it!


Update:
I took pictures of my sad computer

I get confused with all the links ! I downloaded the Windows 7 Recovery Disc 32-Bit (x86) Edition and it's just a weird file, I also downloaded ImgBurn but I guess I wont be using it because I want to install it into my USB, and I also downloaded something else but that thing is not working it gives me an error message.

I'm totally lost please help.

If all else fails.

Take out your hard drive, and access the files on another computer. Backup all your documents and then format the disk.
Re-install your OS and all of your programs and drivers (You will need all the CDs or download them from the internet) and transfer your documents back.

@Kevon100 I'm not that savvy x_X; just 18 year old girl trying to get my PC fixed, I've seen the inside of a computer before but I'm too scared to mess with the insides.

Can you get your hands on a computer with Windows 7? You said that you are on XP

Alright I guess I'll buy a blank DVD and use ImgBurn see if I have more luck that way.
