My computer shut itself down and when I tried to reboot it, it froze on the start up Asus screen and won't let me enter the bios settings by pressing f2 and won't go past that screen. It sounds like it's loading as normal and I can hear it running it just won't do anything. A comment I read said that windows 7 may have not installed itself properly and this is why it has frozen and has said to download windows 7 on the hard drive again, but I want to know how you do that if the screen is frozen??
How do I reinstall windows 7 on the hard drive if the screen is frozen on the start up screen?

Re-installing Windows 7 is a drastic solution.... I think there ought to be a simpler way. But you really should be able to get into the BIOS, so I suspect there's a hardware issue at play.... that's before you think about Windows....
Presuming that your computer was previously stable/reliable, the fact that it suddenly shut itself down suggests to me some kind of hardware failure
What is your spec?

That comment on Windows having not installed correctly is wrong!... you can not attribute the cause to Windows when Windows has not even began to load...
In my opinion, the possible causes are:
a) the BIOS (reset it to remove any corruption or infection)
b) Hardware CPU may be overheating, bad RAM or not seated properly, motherboard damage. Check: 1. CPU cooling, check fan speed fan visually, 2. reseat RAM, airblow RAM slots, try different sticks.. check mobo for bulging or blown capacitors)
c) Weak PSU (try a different PSU)
