Main Issue/General
When I boot my computer, it gets to the screen at which I see the Windows 8 Logo and a load indicator spins below it. About 3 spins in, the spin freezes and I get a BSOD - the BSOD is not fit to my monitors resolution as well, I cannot see a part of it, but I can make out "Critical_Process_Died" at least. It then restarts and loops this.I am decently skilled when it comes to repairing computers so I did make some attempts my self, so I tried to fix it and failed miserably and wasted 30 hours of my life.
Attempts to Fix
This loops infinitely so I had no choice but to fix it. So at first I was unable to get it to boot, so what I did was put my Windows 8 Install disc in, and tried to do System Restore.
System Restore has failed entirely. I tried Repairing/Refreshing it with all the options available, none of them will work. When trying to Refresh the drive the reason it does not work is it tells me "Disk is Locked, please Unlock disk and try again" I DO NOT WANT TO FORMAT AND LOSE ALL OF MY INFORMATION - I want to fix the operating system since I have access to the drive. Note my situation is a bit complex.
Current Situation
I am currently on the computer, on a dual boot partition I created after this happened so I could fix it, it is running Windows 8 Pro, I have not updated it since I am using is for recovery purposes. So I am unsure of if the diagnostic tools will give you appropriate information, since I am not logged on to that operating system, I cannot log on to it, but I can explore and pull files off the hard drive, including operating system logs - I do believe I had it set up to record logs and do dumps, but I am not 100% sure on that one.
