Hi there is already a topic about this with some detailed information off what might go wrong. please check this topic. The steps given in the solution are the following:

Before installation goto BIOS-Settings, make sure to have this:

  • Security: set supervisor password;
  • Boot - BootMode: UEFI;
  • Boot - SecureBoot: enabled;

After installation again go to BIOS-Settings

  • Security - Select an UEFI file as trusted for executing Enter;
  • HDD0 appears Enter;
  • EFI appears Enter;
  • goto Enter;
  • choose the first entry with .efi ("shimx64.efi" at my device) Enter;
  • give it a name Enter;

  • save changes on exit BIOS;

  • restart

  • This is a good answer only if computer is Acer which has the unique requirement of setting UEFI password & enabling trust. Other brands often need other work arounds.

Please give us more information so we can figure out what has gone wrong in your particular situation. Are you installing Ubuntu onto a computer without an operating system on it yet, installing it to replace another operating system, or trying to dual boot two operating systems? And do you know if you're computer's hard drive has the older BIOS or the newer UEFI firmware interface?

Either way, if the computer can't find any bootable devices, then it shouldn't be a problem with boot priority (it would just keep going down the list until it found something). One option would be to plug your USB back in, and run the startup repair option. This could fix things if you're only wanting to run Ubuntu. If you're trying to dual boot windows, you may have somehow removed its startup manager which likely requires you to get a windows recovery disk to access again. If you have a UEFI device, then you could need to manually ensure the grub shim is listed in the boot order. It all depends on your particular scenario

Run your machine with USB bootable device in live mode. Go to BOOT repair application and select Repair the GRUB booting. Now shut down the system. Remove bootable disk and start the machine.
