I have an Asus M32 Series and I turned on my computer and it goes straight to the BIOS and I can't even exit the BIOS, I'm not even sure what to do. It has been like this for a while, I'm not sure if it's the storage or if I messed something up.

 
1) There is usually a 'restore defaults' option somewhere in the main BIOS menues. I would first try trying to find that and set things back to default if you're afraid you've tinkered with something that is causing a failure.

2) If after restoring defaults and rebooting the system still enters BIOS, be sure to try and find the 'Boot Options' section of the BIOS and ensure it is pointing to the correct hard drive.

3) If you don't see any available hard drives in the BIOS then the problem is with your hard drive, not your BIOS.
 
Hard drives fail occasionally, so if your boot drive has failed that would be one possible explanation to why you're stuck in a BIOS loop.

If you have multiple drives and you don't know which to choose, just start choosing them one at a time until you hopefully hit upon the boot drive. There's no harm in pointing to a data drive, it just won't boot into anything as there isn't an OS.
