Yesterday I was using my computer, just browsing the Internet etc, and all programs crashed.
When trying to relaunch Chrome I got a message saying the file cannot be found, I could not open Windows Explorer either. I tried to shutdown but the whole computer froze for about 5 minutes, so I held in the power button and killed it.

On reboot I get a blue screen saying 'Your PC needs to be repaired. A required device isn't connected or cannot be accessed.' The error code is always either 0xc000000f or 0xc0000001.
When booting to my Windows 8 install disc I get the Windows logo for a couple of minutes then the loading swirl, then a BSOD that flashes up to fast for me to read, and the computer restarts.

The system is under a year old so a hardware failure seems unlikely to me.

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. ]]> Windows 8 Errors and BSODs Ryan http://windows8forums.com/windows-8-errors-bsods/21857-bsod-0xc0000001-0xc000000f-boot.html http://windows8forums.com/windows-8-news/21856-windows-8-offers-little-value-enterprises-over-windows-7-a.html Tue, 21 May 2013 10:30:45 GMT Windows 8 faces a number of hurdles in the enterprise, but the biggest reason it won't replace the current corporate champion, Windows 7, is simple. "Enterprises just don't see Windows 8 having value," said David Johnson, an analyst with Forrester Research. "They don't see the value in the changes in Windows 8 [compared to Windows 7]."

As by topic title I'have a problem with environments variable in windows 8.

In practice, I installed MinGw a c/C++ compiler and when i use the command gcc from prompt it response me with the following message:

gcc is not recognized as internal or external command....

Even though I' have set the "path" environment variable to the bin directory of MinGW.

It is not the first time that I install MinGW on my pc. On the old pc with xp operating system I already used MinGW and it does work fine.

Moreover, I have this problem also with other application that I install and I have to use by prompt CMD.

Is there anyone that has notices this problem and help me?

On the one hand, it is not catching on with Android- and iOS-loving consumers turned off by the Windows 8 tile-based interface and the Windows App Store, which by Android and Apple standards, is anemic and disorganized.
