How long did you leave it on the white HTC Screen? After flashing a new ROM it can take several minutes to initially boot back up. Also - I assume rooting all went to plan? No error messages when flashing from recovery? A step-by-step guide on what you did would be ideal.
 
SUroot was asking about the important bit of wiping the phone. Though if "formatting to factory" means you did a factory reset that should have been done. But if in doubt, boot into recovery and try that again, then reboot and see if it works.

Another important question is whether you did a nandroid (recovery) backup before trying to install the ROM? If you did, just restore that. You can try again afterwards.

If another factory reset doesn't fix it, it may be a bad download. You can test that by downloading the ROM again, copying to your card and flashing the new copy. You can USB mount the SD card from recovery if you don't have a card reader.
 
No I didnt do a nandroid back up, i tried a whole bunch of differnt roms and they wouldnt install this is the only one i could get to install. but ill try doing another factory reset.
 
What errors did you get with the other roms? They should all install. Is there any.information you may have missed out?
 
Um i cant remember at the moment, and i dont think so i installed the drivers got revolutionary on my phone and superuser.
 
Superuser is irrelevant to flashing a ROM, since that is part of the ROM you are going to replace. The key thing is the custom recovery.

Can you describe exactly what you are doing to flash the ROMs?
