We'll need your complete specs to unravel this mystery; however, I doubt that it is a gpu issue because win 8 will install a default VGA driver that should work. So, I noticed you have Ubuntu listed as your current OS. Are you trying to replace that OS with a clean install or are you trying to establish a dual-boot arrangement? Are you attempting a UEFI or Legacy install?

I am attempting a clean install.
What do you mean by UEFI or LEGACY.
What does it mean by media drivers

You didn't provide your specs as requested.
A UEFI or Legacy installation is primarily controlled by your BIOS settings.
I have no idea what "no media drivers" means at this point and I doubt that is the "exact" message you are receiving.

Good luck.

Motherboard is most important here, BIOS is on it.

I don't see anything obviously wrong now that you have shown us your specs. The language selection setting is actually the very first selection you can make on a clean install. So, are you attempting to select a different language at this point? If so, can you retry installing at the default settings (English) and see what happens?

Also, can you explain where you obtained your original installation media and how/why you decided to go with a USB installation instead of using a Win 8 DVD ISO ?If available, can you try a DVD ISO install as well?
