You should not have installed the boot loader on /dev/sda5, but on */dev/sda
* instead.

You can boot again from the Live USB, mount the partition /dev/sda5 (on say
/mnt), and then from the command line:

$sudo grub-install /dev/sda --root-directory=/mnt --recheck

That will install the boot loader on */dev/sda.*
