Pc operating system problem?!?

[Bigbubbaaaaaaaaaa]

So, a few months after I made my pc, I started experiencing a problem where the monitor, keyboard and mouse would shut off and I would have to restart the computer. Once it just all stopped working so I replaced my motherboard but nothing changed, then randomly, it started working again. It started having the problem again where it would do one of three things, shut off, restart or turn off the mouse, keyboard and monitor. Usually it's the last one. I also get the error code of 0xc000001 or something like that when it restarts itself. I'm led to believe it's a problem with the operating system and I think it would fix if I was able to restart it. But it shuts off before I can get to the clean hard drive button on Windows 8. Any help on how to clean the hard drive? Or to fix this problem?

Identify the problem...

Is it a temperature issue?
Can you boot into the BIOS, and just let it sit there for a bit? What happens?
If you boot from an OS install DVD, what happens?

I don't know the problem, if I knew the problem I would know how to fix it...the problem is that it keeps restarting and having all my peripherals shut off.

Right. That's why you have to find out what it is. We can't just assume it is a faulty OS. It might be, but it might be something else.

Boot up and get into the BIOS. Stop there.
Let it sit for a while and see what happens.
