Hi Samargamer,
How much memory do you have in your system? You need at least 2 GB for a 64 bit version of Windows 8.
Do you know your memory is good? Try downloading and running MEMTEST86+ (as an ISO and burn it to CD or DVD) and see if there are any errors that appear. You might need to change the boot priority to get it to boot from your optical drive.
Good luck

I switched on my PC to conduct the memory test. But the processor fan is not working so I switched it off again to avoid damage to the processor.

Then perhaps it was your processor fan failing causing an overheat. This does fit all the symptoms you have. Try changing the fan.

Actually sir, it has been working all this time. It is NOW that it's stopped working. I have SPEEDFAN installed. I constantly monitor my temperatures. So the issue is not because of an overheat. Thank you for the quick and quality replies, I need help desperately. :\

The fan is up and running again, don't let it bother you.

I followed your instructions but nothing happened, so I am guessing that my CD-Drive isn't working as well. The last time I checked in System Properties, it showed me 4 GB of RAM which is what I currently have.
