Hi MikasB,
The problem could be with the hardware or software of the system.
To confirm the hardware functionality, I would request you to run the Pre-Boot System Assessment (PSA / ePSA) Diagnostics to check the functionality of the hardware components installed in the system. Run the test and check if gives any error code. Note down the error code and update me with the same, would let you know the next course of action.
You may also refer to this video on how to run the PSA Diagnostics: http://dell.to/1dMViiD
If there are no errors reported, please check if the system is booting to Safe mode with networking.
To boot the system to Safe mode in Windows 8 refer this link: http://dell.to/17rNb7m
Please check and post the results.

As you do not have the disk that came with the computer, please use the following link to request Backup Discs: http://dell.to/11Cve34
The above link is for the US region. Please let me if there is any difficulty in requesting the disk.
Please post the results.
