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:

    I cannot even make Automatic Repair appear on my PC. When I clicked Troubleshoot, I only get 2 options and Automatic Repair is not one of them.

    You may need to boot your recoverable media to see the Advanced Options menu again.  This is why having a boot menu is a good idea.  Even if you don't have multiple partitions to boot you can always get into the other boot options from the boot selection prompt.  In fact, I'm wondering if just the transition between the boot selection menu and the OS might not be a fix for some video related problems.  It should also be possible to create an old text style boot menu which does the same thing, e.g. in case the transition to the GUI boot menu is too much for your video system all at once too.

    Thank you very much.

    Can you tell me how to do it? :)

    I really am not very good with computers.
