Your windows installation is corrupt. Do a clean install on another partition to retrieve any important data of the C:\ Dir then reformat and reinstall the main partition.
I'm confused, is it a new HDD with a new installation of windows? Sounds like you have the BIOS jacked up. Access the BIOS setup and choose the Optimized or Default settings, save and exit. Don't change anything even if you know it's wrong. If it still does not boot into windows, pull the battery out of the main board for a long time (24 hours would be best). Obviously this includes pulling the cord from the PSU. I would also pull out the memory modules.
Once you have it back together, access the BIOS setup and load the Optimized or Default settings, save and exit. Stand over it with a class of water and a threatening tone.

It is important to set the BIOS to default before and after you pull the CMOS battery, without changing anything. If you have to change a setting wait until you restart the PC. Also, some hardware info would make diagnosing a problem easier. Motherboard and CPU, make and model including the BIOS rev, HDD and how it's connected, Dimms, PSU, video card, optical drive(s). The more info the better. It's difficult to provide to much information.

You can get a good multimeter for $20 as =HT=T-Bird pointed out, a bad PSU can be a big nuisance and very difficult to pinpoint
