Windows 8 startup error code 0x0000001E.

Question

Original title: Windows 8 startup error.

Whenever I try to start up my desktop, it goes to the loading screen and two seconds later, a bunch of words pop up on my screen, but they appear and disappear too fast to read.  It also has the error.  I think it's like Error 0x0000001E or something...I can't do anything else than watch.  Please help me.

Hi,

This behavior can occur if you restart your computer during or after the Windows Setup process, and if any of the following conditions are true:

• There is insufficient disk space on the drive on which you installed Windows.
• There is an outdated or incompatible third-party driver (or drivers) installed on your computer -- for example a faulty video driver.
• There are system BIOS incompatibilities.

Please write to us with the following details.

1. What is the make and model of your computer?
2. Was Windows 8 already installed on your computer when you had purchased?
3. Are you able to boot to desktop?

I suggest you to try to boot to safe mode and check if you are able to boot. You can follow the steps given in the link below to boot to safe mode.
