Asus X202E UEFI Booting Problem

[Guthix1991]

Hello, I accidentally formatted my OS Drive during Windows 8 Installation then I decided to delete the SYSTEM RESERVED and RECOVERY to start over a clean install of Windows 8.1.

After that, I created a UEFI Flash Drive Windows 8.1 using Rufus and then I enter into the BIOS to :
- Disable Secure Boot;
- And put my UEFI USB to top priority.

Now, Here's my problem:
The Laptop won't boot the UEFI Flash Drive I created using Rufus (Loaded with Windows 8.1) and it always returns me back into the BIOS wiithout any errors.

Here's another one: http/www.tomsguide.com/answers/id-2203406/install-windows-asus-x552e-windows-laptop.html

Just use the steps that is selected as Best Solution even though it's for Windows 7, it still does apply when install Windows 8.

Problem fixed : It seems the computer for creating Windows 8.1 UEFI Flash Drive has a virus named Gamarue, hiding the files in the Flash Drive and replacing them with a shortcut.

That's why the laptop I was repairing won't boot the UEFI Flash Drive properly.
