Stuck at EFI Shell version 2.31 [5.8]

A friend gave me a pc the other day saying that it can't boot. All i got is that the machine is a vulcan laptop model no VNB11602IS. I tried running some live distros using a USB drive but no luck. Seems that no matter what I try I either enter the SETUP or fall into an EFI shell saying something like the following:

EFI Shell version 2.31 [5.8]
Current running mode 1.1.2
Device mapping table
fs0 :HardDisk - Alias hd13b blk0
fs1 ...
blk0 ...
. ...
. ...
. ...
blk7 ...
Shell>

I tried preparing USB drives using YUMI and YUMI UEFI but none seem to boot.

Would appreciate any suggestions on how I might be able to proceed... thanks

Vulcan has instructions for resetting the laptop, but it presumes you can get to the sign-in screen (though it might be worth a try). You might also check the WeiHang (Vulcan) manual for other ideas. That said, reviews of this PC are not positive.
