Hey there everyone, so I have had this Windows 8 asus computer for about a year now, never had any big problems with it, I was on steam, I started dark souls, it started normally, then all of a sudden, the screen turned tealish and the speakers were making a screeching noise. The computer crashed

Now when it starts, displays the asus screen (where you can press f8 to go to bios) when I don't press f8, it brings me to the bios screen anyways, it will not start Windows up at all.

Not really sure what to do, searched Google high and low, and it seems no one else has had this problem, please help xD

When in the BIOS do you see any boot devices (in particular the hard drive with windows on it).
You could run memtest to check if the memory is all right http://www.memtest86.com/ (although I'd go with hard drive issue over memory issue if everything is still booting to bios correctly)
and there are probably bootable utilities for checking the hard drive to make sure it's okay as well.

I'm thinking it's a hdd issue because in the bios, it doesn't say a single thing about my hard drive, in the tools section it only has "asus easy flash 2 utility" and "Asus spd information"

I had a similar issue, and it was a corrupted Hard drive. I don't know what happened but I was playing Bioshock 2 and it froze. Wouldn't respond. After that I tried to restart it, and it wouldn't load the partition.

I still haven't exactly figured out what's wrong with my computer, if anyone out there can share their expertise

I have the same problem of a new asus desktop that won't get past the boot screens, and tools shows the same 2 items (easy flash 2 and spd). No sign of the hard drive, no instructions on how to boot, no evidence of windows yet though it is supposed to have windows 8.
One dvd in the box, labeled drivers, does not work to boot the device.

I had a similar issue. I knew it was a hardware issue so disconnected everything except usb dongle for wireless keyboard/mouse. Couldn't resolve even after wasting a week replacing parts. Turned out to be the one usb device I retained was causing the problem. Very frustrating but at least I learned something and my system is upgraded. I think I can cobble together a system from these and previous left-over components and donate it to a school or charity.
