Just have a look in the asus BIOS for any settings that might need changing, dont worry you can reset to the default BIOS settings if you mess up.  Also I would recommend going to the optimized defaults, then it might be a good Idea to get another computer, a friend's one or whoever and get a BIOS update, they have instructions on how to update it in your Motherboard handbook.  Make sure to check your motherboard handbook as well.  Might have some needed info.

thanks Mike_The_B0ss , i will try to redo everything , to see where is the problem

Well ahci is the compatible mode so thats ok. The thing with win 8 its that need to format your hdd to MBR for some reason. If you hold a copy of linux try to fire it up from a USB if not download one and install it on a USB. Then search for an application called gparted and format the HDD to NTFS abd then restart the pc and install win7
