After a disappointment in Microsoft Answers community, I contacted Microsoft support and described my issues. It turned out to be an outsourcing company named Calanit and our interaction lasted several weeks of useless and effortless waste of time. During these weeks i spoke with few support representatives who demonstrated incompetence and complete lack of interest in solving my issue. When last support representative told me that they cannot help me to solve the problem and offered me a money return, after weeks of messing with my laptop in the middle of my studies and preparations to exam, all I wanted to tell him is where I want them to stick their 40$. At the end, the solution was my assumption that I wanted to conduct under support's supervision, but did myself when they turned me down.
Back then I purchased 2 windows upgrades 32 and 64 bit. During interaction with support team, they advised me to format completely my laptop and perform a clean install. In order to do this, support representative upgraded my keys to standalone ability. Later this allowed me to solve a problem, and since my laptop has 64-bit CPU, I tried to perform a clean 64-bit install. Miraculously this worked. The solution is revealed to be as simple as installation of 64-bit version of Windows 8 instead of 32-bit one. Note that Microsoft do not offer to chose a version, so it'll require buying an additional upgrade to 64-bit system (if it was present), otherwise buying a standalone activation key.
Happy BSODing out there
