I have finally got the dvd to boot and the USB, guess how ! I REMOVED THE INTERNAL HDD ! Yet upon booting again, no luck !I keep getting "machine check error"The UEFI partition on the HDD may be/is the cause of the issue. So i am going to delete the entirety of windows etc... from the HDD and re-purpose it for LinuxLite. Results----> NO GOOD, will not boot dvd or USB again.Well, after some research I found several posts in Ubuntu and Fedora forums with people havingthe exact same issue, NONE resolved ! I have spent several hours on this.......The "machine check error" could be a GRUB or UEFI issue, or possibly memory being accessed outsideof the UEFI system policy. No actual reason found anywhere.So after spending several hours on this, waiting for 2.4 and no luck, I give up until LinuxLite supports UEFI.I just can't spend any more time on this. If someone has a fix please let me know.Sooner or later UEFI must be supported, seriously guys. All new hardware is using UEFI not BIOS.Please , Please, get UEFI setup next release.....

Microsoft has a history of dictating to hardware vendors. This is unethical and limits peoples choices. Just because a software vendor (MS) dominates a market does not give them the right to restrict a person's choice. This is a direct attack on freedom itself. I'm not a MS 'hater' I like technology, and technologically they have produced some useful innovations throughout the years.If one day we are left with absolutely no choice at all but to submit to MS in the BIOS, then for the sake of getting more people off Windows, I think it will be worth us sacrificing this principle, in an effort to set them free. I'm a realist, but I'm also an optimist. I'm optimistic that people who are thinking of using Linux more and more, will make informed hardware choices, and favour hardware vendors that don't force people into a corner. Freedom must always be the first consideration.

Yes I have Ubuntu installed(linuxmint) in uefi mode, no issues at all. when i boot from the usb, i get a prompt in left top corner, just blinks. let it go overnight, no change. i choose "sandisk" and it just re-boots.when i boot from the dvd i get "machine error" in large font. then it just re-boots itself, but never gets intothe boot menu, just hangs. cant get into bios. the funny thing is that if i push the eject button on the dvd it starts to boot up and works fine.Any ideas ?
After I reboot, the laptop just hangs up and wont go into BIOS.. Any ideas ?
