Don't know where to turn for help, so I've posted it here fellow RoGers 🙂
I've downloaded the latest version of Kali (1.0.5) and when I make a bootable USB stick it won't boot from it.
Then I went into the BIOS and changed the boot order and guess what! nothing happens -.-"
Then I've spammed 'Esc' on boot for it to load the 'Boot Loader' (? don't remember it's exact name, sorry), I selected the USB stick manually but then a black screen appeared telling me that there is no OS present???
When I mount the iso manually via Deamon tools and try to it says 'This program doesn't support windows 6.2.9200 sp0 yet '
And yet I heard that people had installed Kali on Win8.
Then I tried to install it with VirtualBox (OS: linux, Distro: Debian), I assigned it 4Gb of RAM and 20Gb of my SSD for it to run, of course, then I went and selected the iso, launched it and then got this error message:
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Kali.
VT-x is not available. (VERR_VMX_NO_VMX).
Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {8ab7c520-2442-4b66-8d74-4ff1e195d2b6}
btw. 'Kali' is the name of the OS.

I read somewhere that it was because the secure boot option was enabled, I tried disabling it, but no tile appears for the UEFI Firmware setting in the charms menu (whatever it's called)
When I get into BIOS, I can't find anything that says to enable or disable anything regarding UEFi.
You can turn to the Linux forums for your distro 🙂
How to EFI install Kali Linux
The Kali iso does not support being used as a EFI bootable source out of the box. This is easily fixed.
1) Create a bootable USB thumb drive of Kali using the directions at http://docs.kali.org/installation/ka...ve-usb-install
2) On the thumb drive create the following folder structure /EFI/Boot

If you are seeing this error:
"VT-x is not available. (VERR_VMX_NO_VMX)."
You need to go into the G750 BIOS and set the 2 VM options to be enabled - they should be enabled by default.
These are my BIOS options (my usb stick is sitll inside) (the laptop, of course :P)
I somehow managed to boot it from my usb stick, but I only went to the live, thinking that it wouldn't boot the live version aaaaaand it did boot the live version.
I shutdown my laptop because my brother needed it.
Now the problem is I don't know how to recreate it :S
