 Done, I'm curious as to why on Launchpad this bug is low importance and
status still shows incomplete and assigned to no one while here at
freedesktop.org https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75394 it's
marked as high importance and critical. I believe that since we've done
what Chris Penalver requested by updating our BIOS, which BTW did not
fix the issue, I'll be posting my info to the bug report at
freedesktop.org above.
