>   Hi all,
>
>   Basically on Lenovo Y50-70 after installing Ubuntu 17.10, many users
>   reported a corrupted BIOS.
>
>   It's not possible to save new settings in BIOS anymore and after
>   rebooting, the system starts with the old settings.
>
>   Moreover (and most important) USB booting is not possible anymore
>   since USB is not recognized. It's very serious, since our machines do
>   not have a CDROM.
>
>   Lenovo forums at the moment are full of topics regading this issue.

>   Thank you!!
