Hi Rialyn,
1)
Do you remember making any hardware or software changes to the computer prior to the issue?
2)
Do you have a Windows 8 installation media?
I would suggest you to follow the methods given below and check if it helps.

Let us try booting the computer disconnecting all the external devices except keyboard and mouse and check if it helps.
If the issue persists, let us check the issue booting the computer in safe mode, if the issue doesn’t occur let us perform
a clean boot.
Method 2:
Let us try booting the computer in safe mode and let us perform a clean boot.
Step 1: Perform Safe Mode

Click the link and follow the steps “Windows Startup Settings (including safe
mode)”

Check if you face the same issue in safe mode. If the issue doesn’t persists in safe mode, the place the computer in
clean boot and check. A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
Step 2: Perform Clean Boot.
To help troubleshoot error messages and other issues, you can start Windows 8 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup
programs. This kind of startup is known as a "clean boot."
