Recently I closed my laptop, set it on a table then the next time I went to pick it up it went from boot up straight to the BIOS. I immediately pressed ESC and tried to exit. The computer would go black for a split second and then come back to the BIOS. I tried resetting default BIOS settings and the computer reset then went straight to bios again.
Here is the info about my laptop
Brand: ASUS
Model: UX302L
RAM: 8GB (installed myself)
Processor: i5-4200
Operating System: Windows 8
My question is how do I get past the bios into windows or at least windows start up repair?

1Sorry about that, question added – user3913218 – 2014-08-08T15:14:38.583
If you're getting into startup repair (as mentioned in your question) you're actually getting beyond the BIOS already. It sounds like your OS is corrupted somehow. – James Mertz – 2014-08-08T16:00:42.090
My questions asks how I can get past BIOS into startup repair. I can only get into BIOS right now – user3913218 – 2014-08-08T16:08:41.230
Before your computer dumps you into the BIOS, it should be telling you some sort of error message. Also, since you can get into the BIOS, look around for something that will reset it to defaults, which should be a safe thing to do. Without an error message, it's like asking "My car won't start, why?" There isn't much information to go on (even if you do know the make/model). – Steve – 2014-08-08T16:34:47.877
Yea I understand how little information you have to go on and I wish I got an error message that I could look up. Upon closer look apparently my HDD isn't showing up on the boot order. Weird seeing how this is a one month old laptop. I am going to open it up and check the connection soon – user3913218 – 2014-08-08T16:59:14.173
Asus BIOS-es and UEFIs have boot selection menu on the last tab, you can choose an item you want to boot to - Windows should be there somewhere. Unless your EFI partition is corrupted and UEFI doesn't know how to boot Windows. Could you post a photo of the last tab? – gronostaj – 2014-08-08T19:29:20.217
