efibootmgr -v
BootCurrent: 0003
Timeout : 2 seconds
BootOrder: 0003,0000,0001,0002
Boot0000* SATA HDD               :ST500VT000-1DK142                  BBS9(HD,#,0x500)...................-...............A.......................................
BOOT0001* USB HDD              :SMI   USB DISK                         BBS(HD,#,0x500)..................................................................................
BOOT0002* NETWORK BOOT : Realtek PXE B01 D00   BBS(128,#,0x0)................................&.............................................
BOOT0003* EFI USB DEVICE                  PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1d,0x0)/USB(0,0)/USB(1,0)/HD(1,MBR,0xade6bcd0,0x800,0x1fdff800)RC

It looks like your BootCurrent is set to 0003 which is a USB device.
Shouldn't your BootCurrent be set to Boot0000, your SATA HDD?

its was like that becuase i was installing the os at that time when my bootloader problem has occured ,but after using the solution provided ,i was abe to install the boot loader.and after exiting chroot and unmounting all my partitions ,i rebooted and removed my usb stick ,for checking the system is starting or not but the mentioned problem  of black screen started .it wont change after an hour also. so i stopped .
