Error installing DirectX. Help please.

[Kouru225]

I just got a new computer (Lenovo y580) and I can't play any games because I keep getting this message when my computer goes to install DirectX:

"An internal system error ocurred.
Please refer to DXError.log and DirectX.log in your Windows folder to
determine problem."

I definitely have the specs for this game (I'm trying to play Bioshock 1) btw. This is what I get in the DXError.log:

I kinda understand what it means, but I have no idea how to fix it. The DirectX.log is a bit longer so I won't put it up here. Does anyone know how to fix this?

EDIT: I'm using windows 8 (which I very much dislike so far)

PROBLEM FIXED!

I did a clean boot, then installed it, then enabled all my stuff again and restarted and Bioshock is working.
