I managed to get Win8 back into it again so I could update the BIOS.
It's the latest one now (1.17).
Bug persists though :(
One thing I think I should mention is that between its Vivid (when all
was working fine) and its Wily (what I have now) incarnations I had it
sent back to Lenovo factory for repairs due to a broken USB 3.0 port
(the blue tab broke off, common issue with this model). So they
repaired the USB port but also reflashed/reset the BIOS and HDD as well
(as usual). It's the same motherboard though as the mac address remained
the same.
Output of "sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s
bios-release-date":
