maybe go to the boot manager and explicitly boot from the usb drive? seems like your uefi has an entry for which no file was found because your install failed?
Kinda sounds like the bootloader didn't install or the boot partition got mangled.
If there isn't anything of value you could just reinstall, would make sense to use fresh media and use the built in verification before installation.
If you need the data back, use a valid live cd to copy it off the system first.
Edit: consider a page file over a swap partition as it can be adjusted on the fly without a reboot. I work with VMs a lot and having a page file has been very helpful when I need a little boost or want to slim down.
Umm... thank you, but I'm not sure you understood my issue.

I ... can't.
I don't have any data that needs backing up. It's a new computer. I'm trying to install, but I can't boot off the live media.
Does the bios have an option to EFI boot from a USB? Sometimes there is a tiny file manager in the boot options that will allow you to boot from an EFI file off a USB key and not just by selecting a different boot option, the issue here seems to be that the firmware is trying to boot from a file that doesn't exist. The odd part is that it won't work from your USB because it seem to be trying to chain boot efi files that don't exist.
Are you sure your live media is good? Does it boot on another system?

This worked!!
Back into my live environment now.
I'll update my post once I've checked that there are no further problems.
