Lou Hurst, as per http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT70-0NC.html#/?div=BIOSnbos=win8 an update is available for your BIOS. If you update to this, does it change anything? If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s

There have been some reports of corrupted /EFI/ubuntu directories, so could you confirm that you can see the files in this directory -- either from a legacy boot (where you will have to mount the EFI partition somewhere), or live boot? If the directory is unreadable, uefi boots cannot find the

I understand about not wanting to disrupt your machine. Trying a Windows install with UEFI enabled would be a good way to confirm/deny if this is a BIOS bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

Short answer is yes I can install Windows on the machine UEFI. If I can avoid it I would prefer not doing that now as I'm using it with 12.04LTS as my daily work/production computer - the display is almost dead in my other computer. Longer answer is I created a rescue USB stick when I got the

When I first received this machine I created a system recovery rescue USB stick. The system boots UEFI with that rescue device and restores the system as designed. Would there be any boot files from that disk that would be beneficial for debugging here? Will be glad to provide what I can.
