I have a problem in my Ubuntu 16.04. Every time I try to restart or shutdown it freezes, forcing me to manually use the turn on/off button. This is quite annoying.

I already tried:

  1. Changing 

    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

    to

     GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=force"

  2. Setting DefaultTimeoutStartSec=5s and DefaultTimeoutStopSec=5s

  3. Using Boot Repair, but it froze while working.

It's ASUS N552VW with a dual boot installation with Windows 10. What else can I try?

Edit boot parameters in GRUB config like this:

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Change this line:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

To this:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=force apm=power_off"

Save the file

Then edit /etc/modules:

sudo nano /etc/modules

Add this line:

apm power_off=1

Save the file and update GRUB:

sudo update-grub

Shutdown:

sudo shutdown -P now
