Its only showing hp compaq dc7900 small form factor and F9 boot menu, F10 setup and F12 network on the bottom left. Then it's stuck.

That's the HP Startup Menu and since it's not booting into an OS, that implies that the hard drive has failed.
If your PC is new enough to support UEFI, you can use these steps to test the hard drive: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00439024
If not, to check the drive you have to follow these steps:
1) Press Esc key repeatedly, several times a second, while rebooting the laptop. Do NOT hold the key down, just press it over and over.
2) Eventually, you will see an HP Startup Menu
3) Press the Function key for testing the hard drive (usually F2) and let it run.
If the drive checks out OK, then report that and I can provide you options for reinstalling Windows on your PC.
