Error code 1962 - no operating system found

[c-masini]

Dear all,

I have seen other posts along this line - but none of the previous suggestions worked for me.
I have a Lenovo desktop (C445) which have a pre-installed windows8.
I have deleted all previous partitions and installed Ubuntu 15.04 installing it via USB.

I have followed this guide:
http://www.tecmint.com/ubuntu-15-04-installation-on-uefi-firmware/

I can go through all the installation steps - ie. all the way through to reboot.
But then, if I remove the USB I get the error message "ERROR CODE 1962 - NO OPERATING SYSTEM FOUND".
If I leave the USB on, the installation starts all over again on a loop.

I have tried many tests, with no success:
- install version 14.04 LTS;
- version 10.04 LTS - as suggested in other posts;
- entered various combinations of BIOS set up options (UEFI only / LEGACY only; SATA mode = IDE vs AHCI mode)
whatever I do, when rebooting I get the error code 1962.

I have tried boot repair - which gives me the report at this link:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/12558258

I believe I am following all the right steps in the installation - but probably i am missing something in the setup of the hardware.
Any advice?
Thanks, Cristian

Most now seem to copy grubx64.efi into /EFI/Boot and rename to bootx64.efi and boot a hard drive entry. If hard drive entry UEFI boot entry does not exist, you may have to also create that.

T540 works but UEFI settings critical or it may brick

Some Lenovos comes with a physical switch that enables you to select which graphics adapter to use.
