CMOS is the battery, just unpug it and pull the coin for a few minutes, otherwise you can try a live OS to see if its the OS

Don't bother. If you can access BIOS, you might as well reload factory defaults from there using your keyboard and mouse.

Try a live OS, you may just need to re-install

I tried that too, it says Windows 8 cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table

eww 8, but I mean running a linux distro from the USB, if it works you can format the hdd and re-install

I almost told you so.  Resetting the BIOS won't bring forth any new settings. It just changes everything back to what they were at the factory. Anyhoo. Now you need to re-enter the settings you had before. Namely boot order and RAM settings. Check that the date and time is right too. Then by the looks of it like in here, change the Sata mode to IDE/legacy/Compatibility or however it labeled in your BIOS. And the boot mode that whatever isn't labeled UEFI. 

 

Turning off UEFI boot will make your computer a bit slower so if the upgrade was to gain speed, I'd personally reinstall Windows instead.

It's on AHCI now right? Then put it on IDE.

Hold up, just leave it as AHCI should be fine, turn on legacy and boot into a way to format the drive such as dban, Ubuntu, or ubcd. Then format it and power off and boot back to reinstall windows as the drive should now be ready. Install then turn off legacy.
