I suggest to change the importance of tis bug from "low" to "high"!
I bought this notebook in May 2016; installed was windows 10. I hardly use windows. Additionally, for "productivity" work, I installed 3x linux - at that time kubuntu and ubuntu 14.04 with amd driver fglrx. I upgraded 1 installation to 16.04, because while working 14.04 often suddenly "died", i.e. no further keyboard or mouse input was possible; no reboot was possible, I had to shutdown by pressing the off-button for several-seconds. 16.04 does not support fglrx, it can only be started by using kernel parameter nomodeset. Hoping this situation would change, I tested all new kernels and versions. One effect was,three times I had to set up the pc completely, also recovering win 10 - that lasted every time about one week: E.g. installing 16.10 at a seperate partition and starting without any workaround parameters, the esp (efi system partition) was destroyed, I was not able to repair the installion. Meanwhile, for productivity use, I have changed to a tower.
