Dont Know what to do next. Any clues?

You're looking for repeat Errors or Critical in Event Viewer. It explains quite specifically what to do with them. What is unclear?

If you have any doubts then ask back to perform each step correctly.

Did you run the Hardware tests yet? I would do that first.

Can I stop the memtest anytime? and Do i end it by pressing esc? (I've been told not to mess with bios and have no experience with it)

 

[gregrocker]

Yes, but I would run Memtest at least 5-6 passes or overnight to really stress the RAM.

What is your HD brand? Either look on it or google the serial listed in Device Manager under Storage drives.

and will it require any bios usage?

 

[gregrocker]

No, tap the one time Boot menu at boot which on most Asus' is F8.

WinDFT does not show my hdd. tried scanning

 

[lester2020]

Seems like non of the buttons on the program is working.

 

[gregrocker]

Then try Seagate Seatools bootable CD scan. Download the ISO, burn to CD using WIndows Image Burner, reboot and access the one-time BIOS Boot Menu by tapping the Asus F8 key.

You can also use Partition surface test with Partition Wizard.
