[Bug 1129524] Re: Precise & Quantal won't boot in UEFI

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Lou Hurst, as per
http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT70-0NC.html#/?div=BIOS&nbos=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 bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Thank you for your understanding.
