Description: New UX480FD randomly restarting to BIOS for no reason
Model: UX480FD
Frequency of Occurrence: Always
Reset OS: Yes
Four days in and 2nd major problem with this UX480FD.
Keeps restarting and booting to Bios that I can only exit by powering off the machine (i.e. Exiting BIOS does not work). So the issue here is if I come back to my computer after leaving it, it's sitting there in the BIOS and totally hot and draining battery fast.
Doesn't matter if I leave it for 15 minutes or 3 hours. When I come back, the computer will have rebooted and gone to BIOS. No, I have nothing in the USB inputs that it should even be booting to BIOS, let alone even restarting in the first place. I have the 305 version of BIOS. I see on the driver page for the UX480FD, 301 is the latest version, however when I try to downgrade to 301, I'm not able to as I'm told from the BIOS EZ Flash utility that it's not a proper BIOS.
Disaster experience this laptop has been 4 days in. First advertised and marketed with touchscreen, which it apparently doesn't have. Now this restart to BIOS.
I've since done a full reset of the machine and starting from scratch with a new Windows 10 installation. Same issue is happening so clearly some kind of hardware of driver issue.
