I am having an issue with a terrible virus. My computer just started lagging up and failing. I removed windows and tried clearing bios without USB. I put a windows 8 NON build disk in and go to press a key when it asks but it freezes then eventually blue screens. Regardless with it not being a boot disk it should still give me some windows 8 boot. Please help this is the best I can describe it as.

I tried reinstalling windows over old windows to get rid of the virus by giving it a clean start but it messed by while downloading new windows so whenever I go boot up it gives me errors when trying to load windows. It's a fucking mess and hard to explain.

How do you know this is cause by a virus.
From you description - Lagging, slow. Suddenly won't start up - my first move would be to test the hard drive.
It would also help a lot if you could give us the error message from the blue screen.

It seems like a virus due to no matter which hard drive I use. Ssd or regular, it won't let me boot and it lags. I dont know I'm going to try my buddies actual boot disk but when I tried using windows 8 non boot before it at least said I could install. This tells me nothing and freezes along with error.

You can't just re-install a copy of Windows over a current copy of Windows to fix it. You have to wipe the HDD/format it first.
