    Is this an original CD? Usually we see these problems with a copy.

    Do you watch the screen for the message "Press any key to boot from CD... "? If you don't press a key it will continue to boot from the hard disk drive.

    So when you start your PC, do you get a message asking you to press a key to start from the CD?

    What happens after you press "any key "? Do you see the CD loading screens? Does it restart?

    I suggest you bring the PC to the shop you bought it from, or to a qualified repair shop.

    Whatever it is, without physical access to your PC we're not going to get anywhere.
