Taihsiang Ho, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://download.lenovo.com/express/ddfm.html an update to your BIOS is available (2.25). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything?  If it doesn't, 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.

Bug description:
  Lenovo ThinkPad T440p ( CID 201309-14169 ) on Ubuntu 14.04
  3.13.0-24-generic

  ----------------------------------------

  fwts high failures were found as the following:

  klog: HIGH Kernel message: [   27.371715] ACPI Warning: \_SB_.PCI0.PEG_.VID_._DSM: Argument #4 type mismatch - Found [Buffer], ACPI requires [Package] (20131115/nsarguments-95)
  klog: HIGH Kernel message: [   29.882167] ACPI Error: Field [TBF3] at 270336 exceeds Buffer [NULL] size 262144 (bits) (20131115/dsopcode-236)
  klog: HIGH Kernel message: [   29.882172] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.PEG_.VID_.GETB] (Node ffff8802333d1960), AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT (20131115/psparse-536)
  klog: HIGH Kernel message: [   29.882179] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.PEG_.VID_._ROM] (Node ffff8802333d1938), AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT (20131115/psparse-536)

  ----------------------------------------

  Steps to reproduce the bug:
  1.on the power-saving mode (intel chip),
  fwts found a klog high failure

  klog: HIGH Kernel message: [   26.704702] ACPI Warning:
  \_SB_.PCI0.PEG_.VID_._DSM: Argument #4 type mismatch - Found [Buffer],
  ACPI requires [Package] (20131115/nsarguments-95)

  by the command
  fwts -q --stdout-summary -r <log file name> klog

  2. switch to the nvidia graphic card via dash → nvidia setting → select nvidia
  3. reboot to make the switching work
  4. use the same fwts command and it will show the high failures. There are 3 more high failures found.

  reproducing rate: 5 out of 5
