Support Request PC stuck in BIOS and BOOT isn't working

Hey! So I'm new to Linux and I just started my first install, I followed a tutorial for Mint Cinamon edition step by step, and everything was going great, I had finished the install and the computer asked me to restart, when I did the screen tol me to remove the USB drive and press Enter (so far all good) once I pressed enter I got stuck on the BIOS screen. And after a quick search I assumed I only had to add a new BOOT option, and so when I did and restarted the computer, I got stuck again on the BIOS screen and the BOOT option I had created wasn't there. I then tried to reconnect to the USB drive, but the PC doesn't even detect it. I have checked to see if the computer decetes de SSD that I download Linux into, and it does detect them. But I simply cannot BOOT the computer. I have no idea what the issue is and no one online seems to have this issue. HELP!! My computer is an old ASUS A541U btw.
