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:

    what I did was I kept resetting the computer for about 6 times ( I know it take a lot time) and it came out right, I think that happen when the computer do not complete the whole resset, but  i really  do not know what it is.
