Need help, I bought a new computer from the local computer shop

[madokie]

Heres what I bought
Intel DH87RL UATX
Intel core I-5-4430 3GHZ Processor
8 gig Crucial Memory DDR3 1333

I have a kingston V300 SSD I put in it. I didn't buy a hard drive with this as I am going to use this SSD to put my operating system on
I put ubuntu 12.04 64 bit on the SSD and when I go to restart it won't restart. I press the f10 key which gets me to the boot menu. On this boot menu my SSD is the last one listed and when I select it the computer just sets there. I have a usb 500 gig toshiba hard drive I connected to the usb port and loaded 12.04 on it and that is what I'm using right now to post this but its slower than smoke off shit and not what I want to use.

What I need to know is how in the hell do I set my boot order so this thing will act like every other computer I've ever owned, which is a bunch of them btw.
I was told that I can install a 32 bit version of whatever linux I want. The reason I want to use 32 bit is because of AutoCad 2000 won't run under a 64 bit system. Yes I run AutoCad 2000 using Wine.

DVD drive and all the gizmos, card readers, on the front panel
Nice case and all that.

Would someone help me figure out how to set my boot order so I can load my operating system to the SSD and boot to it when I turn the computer on?

Thanks in Advance.

3.8.4 Changing the Default Boot Device During POST ...hmmm gives ref to: Exits the menu and boots according to the boot priority
defined through BIOS setup ...then I see this which indicates you don't want to use F10 cause it will slow boot time: 3.9.2
BIOS Boot Optimizations Interesting that you can make it boot so fast it may not see a hard drive:

NOTE
It is possible to optimize the boot process to the point where the system boots so
quickly that the Intel logo screen (or a custom logo splash screen) will not be seen.
Monitors and hard disk drives with minimum initialization times can also contribute to
a boot time that might be so fast that necessary logo screens and POST messages
cannot be seen.
This boot time may be so fast that some drives might be not be initialized at all. If
this condition should occur, it is possible to introduce a programmable delay ranging
from zero to 30 seconds by 5 second increments (using the Hard Disk Pre-Delay
feature of the Advanced Menu in the Drive Configuration Submenu of the BIOS Setup
program).

Visual BIOS Setup Display Areas - Boot so you can't set the first boot device to your SSD? If you have and it's not booting then I would check out its spec for init time. Maybe fast boot is too fast for it? Without seeing the bios menus that's about all I can come up with. Good luck.

2. The UEFI BIOS wants to lock out other OS than Win 8.

You have to go into the BIOS settings and set for other OS.

this is all new to me as I've never had a problem with putting whatever linux distro on whatever machine I've tried before.
Right now I came home and put my mint 15 flash drive in and loaded it and its working ok
