Install on A UEFI MAchine not boot

Hi, this is a great OS, i installed some time ago in an old Bios Machine and worked perfectly, but today i buy a new computer with UEFI an Asus Board H81/mp, use the same esb drive to boot and install perfectly, but when i reboot the machine instead of load Q4OS recently installed, the machine goes black and then UEFI Interface appears, like if i tap the F2 Key, and nothing more it stays there.
If i reboot Ctrl+Alt+Supr, the system again enter UEFI Interface, what i have done wrong i dont know.

Thanks.

Did you disable "Secure Boot" in your UEFI settings? Also does the "UEFI interface" give you an option to boot Q4OS or Windows?

Yes, i disable secureboot, but the Uefi interface dont show any option to boot except from DVD, this machine comes with W10 preinstalled if that helps, i wipe the entire disk with gparted

Re: Install on A UEFI MAchine not boot

Do you have any options (in UEFI settings) to add a boot entry? this is what I have on my Dell...

Selecting "File Browser Add Boot Option" allows me to navigate to the EFI folder and manually select the grubx64.efi file and give it a descriptive name for the boot menu.

Also if I understand correctly you only have Q4OS installed on this machine, is this correct?

I dont see any option like yours, this is a Desktop PC, dont know if the options are the same, Yes q4os are the only system.
