Have encountered this issue on a Lenovo G70-80 80FF Laptop, Windows 10 was already installed and wanting to install (dual boot) Linux, which I have had no problems before until Ubuntu 17.10 was installed, and when trying to enter System Settings in Grub is still showing,

Error: could not set EFI variable 'OsIndications'

managed to boot from DVDROM from Grub command, though USB booting is impossible.
Even replacing the HDD does not get around the problem. Removing the HDD completely only end with a Boot Menu that is empty, no way to enter BIOS, and on the note main Function Keys, ie F2 and F12 lock up the booting to Grub.
