Your hardware should be okay at least if the keyboard lights flash at boot, so we just need to work on the software.
Make sure the ATKACPI driver Version V1.0.0023 (under the 'utilities' section?) has been installed from the ASUS G75VW Win8 download site
http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=G75VW&p=3&s=388It should show up under Windows Programs and Features as the ATK Package once installed.
Also, check the other 'Fn' keys like Fn+F11/F12 for volume or Fn+F9 (touchpad software/driver needs to be installed too though) to toggle the touchpad on and off, but some things are more dependent on the ATK driver than others.
Don't expect it should be too big of a deal, but if you're paranoid about software like me, you may want to back-up and prepare for the worst before updating, or create a Windows System Restore point at least.
Good luck!
