I just bought an MSI GS70 and I wanted to install Ubuntu from a Live USB. As suggested by other posts, I switched the boot mode to Legacy and after that the only thing that happens when I start up my computer is the message
"Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media" on a black screen. I don't know how to access BIOS or get Windows 8 to boot. Please help me!

You need to set the USB boot priority higher than the hard disk. It looks like your machine is still trying to boot from your hard disk but obviously can't do so in Legacy mode.
Press Delete key when powering up your machine, go to the BIOS setting, and changes the boot priority settings. This post (http://gs70-linux.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html) has more information about how it works. Ubuntu 13.04 is the easiest version to install on this machine with most hardware working.
