Hi,
I had the same sort of issue. My workstation with a Asrock motherboard suddenly decided to reset UEFI to defaults which caused my Fedora installation not to boot. I could boot with a Live USB stick and use efibootmgr to set the UEFI boot for Fedora but next time I powered on my machine the same issue happened (I remove AC power from my workstation when it is not in use). Turned out to be a flat battery for the BIOS (coin cell). I replaced the coin cell and set the UEFI boot with the Live USB stick and all was well. The efibootmgr command was something like : efibootmgr -c --part 2 --loader /EFI/Fedora/grubx64.efi --label Fedora
Please check the manpage of efibootmgr, the process of how to setup the UEFI boot is described very well.
Regards,
Michel

hi guys
I have a box on which UEFI boot has gone haywire and instead of boot it power the box down, that is before even going to grub2. (displays some error message) I if change to BIOS boot then I can start Centos' rescue - my question is: how can I rescue, re-build grub so it would boot from tradition BIOS?
If the OS was installed with UEFI enabled I would go back to UEFI mode.
Then re-add your OS boot configuration within the BIOS setup screen.
Most motherboard manufacturers detail this process on their website where you browse the disk to select somefilename.efi and give it a label “CentOS”.
