Trouble installing windows on new built PC

Just built my new $1000 PC and I'm stuck on the software. I bought the Windows 8 OEM System Builder from Amazon.

When I boot from the CD drive and go through the initial setup, everything works fine. After the install, it automatically restarts, and I get this message across a blue screen:

Your PC needs to be repaired

The os couldn't be loaded because the kernel is missing or contains errors.

windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe

I'm trying not to get really stressed out over this, and any help is appreciated.

Hi,

You may try the system startup repair:

Windows Startup Settings (including safe mode)

Sometimes this would be caused by the bad hardware, if so, you need contact your manufacturer.

The problem may be a bad RAM module.

Try checking the RAM with a memory tester such as Memtest86+ on a USB flash drive or CD:
