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:

2012-12-24T01:49:28+00:00 If all else fails, change out your memory. There are a lot of questionable DDR3 out there from one specific country that is not China or the USA, is present in a lot of new systems, and causes Windows 8 to go into a repair loop and/or multiple blue screens, each time with a different error.
To validate this, try to install Windows 7 and if that fails (or components of Win7 fail, such as updates, etc) it may be time for new memory.
I have seen this on two separate systems I have built and one laptop - I didn't catch it initially but after hours of screwing around, I finally realized that all of the systems had the same memory manufacturer from the same country. When I changed the DDR3 on one of the desktops, Windows 8 installed fine without errors and will no longer boot loop. And this is with an SLI NVIDIA 2Gb card.
Unfortunately, in these cases, it was NOT a Microsoft issue although it would certainly appear so since it is the OS erroring out due to bad memory...
The memory I am using now is Kensington and seems to be working 100% of the time. Ill repost in a week with an update.
