Ubuntu 12.04 Precise only reboots does not SHUT-DOWN

Question

Okay here's the question:

Ubuntu 12.04 Precise will not shut-down it just Reboots again!

Its as simple as that. I have tried every command out there and not a single one of these commands works in grub or Ctrl + Alt + T or any other method suggested.

1. sudo shutdown -p now <-This does not work

2. Type in terminal:

   sudo -i (to get a root shell, sudo gedit is not recommended)
   gedit /etc/default/grub
   

   Find the line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

   • Change this to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=force"
   • Save the file and close the file.
   • Finally, in terminal: update-grub
   • exit (to end the root shell) <-This does not work

3. sudo poweroff <-This does not work

4. alt + F2 and type gksudo poweroff <-This does not work

5. Code:

   sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
   

   --> remove quiet splash, then :

   sudo update-grub
   

   before trying to shut down again, run:

   sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh -a  <-This does not work
   

6. halt or shutdown -h now <-This does not work

7. sudo init 0 <-This does not work

8. acpi=norq added to grub <-This does not work

9. Typing shutdown or restart in Dash Home <-This does not work

10. sudo shutdown -h 0 <-This does not work

11. sudo halt <-This does not work

12. sudo shutdown -h 0 <-This does not work

So lets try to figure it out together, lets solve it since no updates are coming in to fix it!
