The UEFI does not has a classic version and the boot rom has been set to

device but it will not boot into the installation boot loader.  It just
stares back at me with a blank screen.

  I have turned off everything the UEFI boot rom that I see that might be
causing a problem.

I found one of my HPs wouldn't install until I went through all the UEFI/legacy bios style options and one of them worked.
 Just  try everything.

One of my machines would not install from the USB-3 socket, it would only work from the USB-2 sockets. It is a Lenovo.
