I just build a new pc and as I was waiting for windows 8 to finish downloading my pc turned to a black screen. A few minutes went by and I got a message saying "your pc has encountered a problem, we will restart for you." But when it restarted I still get the black screen. Any help please

Can you be more specific as to when the blank screen is occurring? After full post? Is there a logo or anything before it? Do you have UEFI?

It is happening after a full post and the windows 8 logo appears, I got an error code 0xc00000001 which I am trying to figure out but so far no luck. Even the microsoft tech support was unhelpful. Yes I do have UEFI

Is it a legit copy of Win 8? There are some bad ones going around TPB.
