Hi, I'm looking for some pointers on the right UEFI settings
Ubuntu 17.04 runs live perfectly fine and the install also works fine. It's installed to the Kingston SSD and there are no other discs.
But the system won't boot. Playing with UEFI settings, it either goes to network boot, or if it attempts to boot from Kingston SSD, I get the
"Reboot and select proper boot device" prompt.
We've done a fair few installs on UEFI, but as months go by different motherboard manufacturers seem to get a little too creative with the UEFI interfaces and the terms and options seem inconsistent, so all our note on Lenovo and HP does seem to apply to this Gigabyte motherboard. It's also quite hard to google for results.

there are some generic UEFI GUI screenshots here:

I've run boot-repair from a live usb but that hasn't worked. Does anyone have any tips?
Also one aspect I'd like to eliminate is - The machine was ordered without any OS, but because a bare version of windows is loaded by the PCSpecialist guys for soak testing, has that install perhaps done something re secure boot? Or the SSD? If anyone know that would give me a baseline to work from
