Just built my new $1000 PC and I'm stuck on the software. I bought the Windows 8 OEM System Builder from Amazon.
When I boot from the CD drive and go through the initial setup, everything works fine. After the install, it automatically restarts, and I get this message across a blue screen:
Your PC needs to be repaired
The os couldn't be loaded because the kernel is missing or contains errors.
windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
I'm trying not to get really stressed out over this, and any help is appreciated.
