Y700? doesn't matter, just curious.

So this is a regular problem with Lenovo laptops, wish there was a known reason because Lenovo makes awesome laptops and I'd recommend them to anyone... but the solution is well known: BIOS update

too lazy to write it out, just copied someone else's -- be sure you select the correct system and if you're smart, you'll backup your data/system before a bios update in case the worst happens:
1- go to Lenovo support website (http://support.lenovo.com/) and

2- click 'Detect my product'.

3- Then, click 'update your system' and

4- download the BIOS option.

5- Just install it and wait.
