I cannot say exactly what's causing this issue. I'd suggest after enabling UEFI from BIOS, try re-installing grub2 and regenerating grub2.cfg maybe? If this did not work, try re-creating partitions (that is set ESP on /dev/sda1 and set boot-flag ON on 1) . Also there is no need for BIOS boot partition since ESP is already provided. Then install grub and boot? Also, I see "customised boot" option for UEFI. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HP_EliteBook_840_G1 Tried this?
