My System came installed with Windows 8, which I updated to 8.1. and I am succesfully dual booting it and Ubuntu 13.10.
Name	NP700Z5C-S02ZA
Vendor	SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD. (www.samsung.com)
BIOS
Date	11/04/2013
Vendor	Phoenix Technologies Ltd. (www.phoenix.com)
Version	P07ABJ
Computer
Processor	8x Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3615QM CPU @ 2.30GHz
Memory	7873MB (997MB used)
Operating System	Ubuntu 13.10

I updated to the latest bios drivers, deactivated fast boot/quick boot(in windows and in bios), intel rapid responce etc.
Shrinked my main drive to allow space for Ubuntu. Booted the Ubuntu live usb with UEFI and SecureBoot stil enabled.
Installed Ubuntu using the existing efi partition and the HDD as to location for the bootloader.
It installed fine and Ubuntu worked just like that, however Windows 8.1 did not work until I disabled SecureBoot.(I'm not sure why.)
I did not even run repair-boot. :)

Bug description:
  I cannot provide detailed log massages because laptop is bricked right
  now.

  If you have courage to try it select UEFI boot from bios and than try
  to boot laptop using liveusb (made form Precise Pangolin 12.04.1
  amd64).

  Laptop hangs up in black screen. If you force power-off, after it,
  laptop wont start. I mean it not event start bios, just black screen
  no sounds nothing.

  I filing this report, because i already bricked second laptop. At
  first i thought it was unrelated issue and laptop was fixed by
  warranty service (replaced motherboard), but after second time i quite
  sure.
