Hello Nandyalas,

I would suggest releasing the flea power.
-- Disconnect all the external peripherals from the computer along with the power cable, monitor, keyboard and mouse.
-- Press and hold the power button for 10 to 15 seconds.
-- Connect only the power cable, monitor, keyboard and mouse and try to turn on the computer. 
-- Check the functionality of the computer.
-- If it works fine, shut down the computer and turn it on by pressing the power button and try the process a couple of times.

Please try the steps and write back with results, I'd be glad to assist further.

Windows 8 keys are encrypted stored in the Bios installed at the factory.  There are no more COA Stickers due to piracy.

Windows 8 now comes with a Genuine Microsoft Label there are NO MORE Certificate of Authenticity (COA) Labels.

See the following examples of labels to look for.

Color-Shifting Ink
The color shift on the label is designed to change from one color to another when viewed from different angles,

making it easy to determine if it is genuine.

Windows 8: magenta to green

Windows 8 Pro: blue to purple

Windows RT: turquoise to purple

Genuine Microsoft Labels

You could try Belarc Advisor.
