Clear your CMOS to put everything back to stock defaults. Then try installing in UEFI again. Does the issue still persist?

I had the same problem and suggest you the following:
- get yourself a minimum 4GB USB stick
- go to http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media
- press 'Create Media' and do as advised there

After the USB image of your version of Windows is created:
- restart the computer and enter UEFI setup (I am assuming that all UEFI settings are correct)
- go to TOOL menu and choose BOOT OVERRIDE
- select your USB stick

The installation should start.

Good luck.

It can be one of the two then your keyboard isnt 100% supported like mine, Or your windows install disk isn't setup for UEFI correctly make sure its a OEM DVD not a hacked image.

Once upon a time, mine would show the "Hit key to boot DVD" and when I did it jumped back to the bios. It was related to the keyboard as mentioned.

I moved my USB keyboard and possibly mouse to a new port and the boot continued normally. Also shutting the system all the way down and then rebooting might help.

That's weird. Mines came without a partition actually.

Anyways, I'm glad you got it to work. Enjoy! 😉
