I have LinuxMint installed no issues, bumblebee/Optimus setup however it takes some time to get it properly working.
My hardware is- i7-4710HQ CPU, Nvidia 860m, 16GB DDR3, Win7 on a 128GB SSD, LinuxMint on 1TB HDD. I created another partition for LinuxLite and installed it last. EVERYTHING works! At install select "something else" on partitions. I didn't bother with UEFI, only grub.
Here are the guides i used to set it up, just know they were NOT written "specifically for LinuxLite" , I installed on LinuxMint.

There were more sites, but I was able to figure it out from these sites. The last one was more help to me.
Take your time, I had to reinstall 2 times because I was not patient.
For my Nvidia 860m I use the 349.16 driver. It gets warm but I run it on full graphics/Nvidia.
UPDATE
Asus GL551JM Boots up from usb or dvd -when i disabled intel-virtualization. After install it was enabled and works fine with virtual box.
I installed the latest driver listed in "hardware drivers" section, no issues.
OLDI havn't been able to get my Asus GL551JM to even boot LinuxLite, would you be so kind to post your BIOS settings?
Have you ever gotten "machine error" when booting LinuxLite ?
