installation of grub

I installed grub without error. did everything as written in installation guide. My problem is my laptop can not see grub boot loader grubx64.efi and it restarting repeatedly with message Checking media failed. Then i troubleshooted problem i boot with my arch installation media and there is UEFI shell option. i opened UEFI shell option and changed directory to fs1: with ls i found there EFI\arch\grubx64.efi then i entered grubx64.efi to manually boot my system and it booted perfectly. so grub is installed correctly and my arch linux works perfectly, but every time i have to manually plug installation media open uefi shell and manually boot into grub boot loader. I checked everything in UEFI setting i corrected boot order i turned off secure boot i even manually added boot using UEFI shell bcfg boot add option(but it does not work after rebooting bcfg boot dump was same and no changes were made).please help me with troubleshooting.

Re: installation of grub

Your efi vars seem Brocken.

efibootmgr -u 

If you don't see any option with grub in it, install grub with the '--removable' option.

Re: installation of grub

Also i tired efibootmgr -u command there is Boot0000 arch grubx64.EFi,but it is not in boot order. I changed boot order using efibootmgr --bootorder. then i checked when system was running and it changed correctly and Boot0000 was added in there as first one, BUT after restarting still same bootorder was restarted and there was no Boot0000 in boot order.
