Right, OK here is the problem. I'm not sure how it happened but every time I try to turn it on, It loops between the first 'HTC' screen and then 'HTC Quietly Brilliant' and then the Orange screen. It then repeats between the last two. I know there are a lot of threads about 'rooted' boot loops, but I don't even know what a root is. Please help. Is there a way to restore it like it was, working, without losing any data?
This allows the phone to connect to your computer for the steps below.
3. Fully charge the battery. Then boot the phone into bootloader by pulling the battery for a couple seconds and replacing it, holding down volume and pressing the power button.
4. Once in bootloader, select Fastboot using the volume rocker and pressing power. Then connect the USB cable. You should see FASTBOOT USB.
5. Run the RUU from Windows and follow the wizard.
Since the phone is out of warranty, you may as well root it while you're at it!
Post back here if you run into snags.

That was one of the best tutorials I've ever had for anything. I will try this. Just one last question. If a phone was under warranty, would flashing the stock ROM invalidate it? I know this doesn't matter but I just want to know. Thanks!

This sounds like a hardware problem to me. If you can ever get it to boot into bootloader or the ROM, do a factory reset and see if that helps. If you can't even get that much done, you're probably looking at a trip to a service center or your provider
