normally I would run memory test over night for at least a few passes. But in the mean time can you open elevated command prompt and run sfc /scannow to make sure that your system files are not corrupted. if sfc found corrupted files, you might have to run it multiple times until you get a message: Windows did not find any integrity violation.

EDIT:
do you still have Norton Internet Security Installed ?. If so Please temporarily uninstall it

Tried sfc/scannow several times but it appears for a millisecond so I cannot read anything.
Norton has been uninstalled

You need to open the elevated command prompt using Win+X->Command Prompt(Admin) then type sfc /scannow

Yes. You need to run multiple times until you get a message: Windows did not find any integrity violation

EDIT:
after you get the above message. Open the elevated command again then type: chkdsk C: /f /r
You'll get a prompt, type Yes then reboot your PC to run chkdsk. It will takes a while so please be patient

Good luck !!!

I think mine fixed by refresh.
It only happens with Windows 8, my WS2012 installation is fine, no spontaneous reboot.
