Intel D945gcnl Desktop Board Bios Bin File Free 16

The PC had Windows installed, booting to Windows automatically OK. With Linux installed, nothing is booted and I get a message saying "no bootable devices detected" or something like that. Smashing on the boot options key while booting, I am given a menu to manually choose which device to boot from. If I select the drive with Linux installed, it boots normally. There doesn't seem to be anything in the BIOS settings to tell it to boot from this drive. Adjusting the boot order doesn't work.
However, my motherboard BIOS makes no mention of Linux. To reduce the amount of variables, I've tried installing the latest version of Ubuntu (18.04.2 LTS). Before rebooting, I tried the commands suggested in the article:
I ran into problems very fast though. This article seems to be written for an older version of Ubuntu, as my Ubuntu install did not have an EFI folder. I ran a find command for all EFI files that the installer created, and they were all over the place. I tried copying /usr/lib/system/boot/efi/system-bootx64.efi to /EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi, but that didn't work.
I reset my BIOS settings to factory defaults in the exit menu, and that changed my bios quite a bit, adding some menu items that were not there previously. Perhaps a bug in the intel BIOS update process? Either way I can't be sure what the actual fix was, resetting my BIOS settings, which magically made more boot options appear, or turning off UEFI, which the BIOS reset also did.
