I found a workaround by disabling fastboot but its annoying because it was working fine before.. i also added 2x 840 Pro ssds not sure if thats got anything to do with it..
any fixes?

make sure you have secure boot as enabled
worst case scenario, try restoring setup defaults -
Try to load the bios defaults and reboot then. This is sometimes needed after a bios update.

I have reset to default... it just boots straight into bios unless i turn fastboot off now -_-. -

what you need to do is insert the product key via a PID.txt in the sources folder on the Windows 8 Disc and boot from a UEFI/GPT disk such as a USB WITH SECURE BOOT ENABLED and FAST BOOT ENABLED
To do this, here is what you will have to do:
1) Insert your OLD SSD Back which had the original factory installed OS
2) Download and install Belarc Advisor
3) Run Belarc Advisor, then look towards the end of the page, you will find your product key there, note it down
4) on your desktop, create a text file and name it PID.txt
5) Open the PID Text file and paste this
[PID]
Value=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
Obviously you have to replace the XXX with your actual product key that is built into the BIOS which you extracted from Belarc Advisor
6) Create an ISO Image of your Windows 8 DVD (should be Single Language Windows 8 DVD not Pro or Retail)
7) Using UltraISO or any other ISO Editor, copy the PID.txt file to the sources folder which is in the root of the ISO
8) Save your ISO again
9) Download RUFUS
10) Insert a 4 GB USB stick
11) Run Rufus then follow this image to create a GPT/UEFI disk
where it says ISO, browse to the ISO you just saved
12) let Rufus create your bootable USB
13) Reboot your laptop and boot from the USB then Install Windows 8
The Windows 8 DVD will not ask you for a product key since it will match the PID.txt file with the product key built into your BIOS and if they match the setup will continue
I know this is a hassle, but it's worth every minute! I did that to keep my fast boot / UEFI partitions

You can enter the bios by doing a proper restart or if there is a boot issue anyway
