Go into the BIOS and see if you have a SSD or HDD listed in there. I you can't see the drive it has either died or there is an issue with the connection. If the drive is visible, the issue might be because the primary boot path has gotten mixed. If you are using Windows 10 go to boot options and it should be Windows Boot Manager. Set that as the primary.

But it says I have 8192MB of System Memory so I dont know what it is

 

System memory is your RAM. The Hard Disk is where you install your OS. If it is not detected in the BIOS then its probably dead and needs replacing.

Welp that sucks because my laptop is only 3 months old 

It isn't as bad. Being only 3 months old means you can call up customer service and file an RMA. If it was older you would have to pay out of your own pocket.
