Try booting from a USB stick imho.

Tried it with an official version and something I found on the torrent site, neither of them worked.

When you mention "neither of them work", what exactly are you experiencing?

Are you certain the original version Is an untouched copy?
Edit: Typo.

Both get stuck at the ''Starting Windows'' part. Although, with one disc it loaded the logo and with another it didn't. Tried booting disc on 64-bit laptop, everything worked perfectly.

Just to eliminate any hardware Issues and possibly pointing to an Issue with the OS Itself, have you tried formatting with another "version" (not edition) of Windows, such as XP?

If you wish to give XP a shot, I have an untouched copy of Windows XP Pro with SP2 (bootable ISO), Inclusive of the CD key that works flawlessly, which can be Installed on as many systems as you like. Just let me know and I will hit the upload.

Yeah... Tried to boot from an USB stick that I burned with the official USB Tool Windows has, the PC starts loading the files but stays stuck on the Starting Windows page without loading the Windows flag logo or anything.

At this point I'm starting to consider replacing parts, but I have no idea what part is the faulty one and I'd rather not waste my money on futile parts at the moment since I'm short of cash, could the problem be the Motherboard or the PSU, maybe the GPU?

EDIT: Tried booting Ubuntu for whatever reason and this got a lot weirder. Booted from USB. It makes a beep. Enters a menu with an option to install Ubuntu, then it beeps again but whenever I try to ''Install Ubuntu'' or it does the auto-boot after a few seconds, it restarts the computer.

There is definitely a hardware issue. The beep is just a POST.

I think your HDD or RAM might be faulty. It seems to get stuck whenever you're loading files (either to memory or to disk). Perhaps you can run a memtest, and see how that goes?
