Hello Coonut,

Thank you for your reply,

I would suggest you to login to any other computer and create a Windows 8 installation disk. Using that disk you can perform the troubleshooting methods given below.

Refer the link to create the installation disk:

                 So beware of of Microsoft peripherals!!!!

    I'm not so sure.  I would suspect old video systems first.  Once that fails there is really nowhere for the OS to go.

    I would almost bet it has to do with Microsoft drivers for keyboards or mice. When I was using one of the Microsoft mice a while back (in windows 7) it would be fine up until I would install the drivers then would blue screen randomly. These drivers would also install through windows updates. My wife is running windows 8 with a Microsoft mouse  and this has happened twice and the she said that windows prompted her to install it shortly before this happened. She said it was acting weird and then she restarted the PC and low and behold the restarting begins. The mouse will work fine until you install the software. So beware of of Microsoft peripherals!!!!
