Thanks to Saman for the fix

I did the following and it worked

1. Type the command:
   sudo nano /etc/default/grub

2. Find GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”” and change it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”reboot=efi”

3. Press Ctrl-O to save and then Ctrl-X to exit.

4. Type the command:
   sudo update-grub

5. Shutdown system.

6. Reboot and then attempt restart.

I had the same problem and was able to solve it by compiling my own kernel ( 3.1.5 stable ) and creating a patch.

No need to compile or do anything hard. I was having the same problem and found the perfect answer here at How to fix Netbook restart issue with Linux (Ubuntu).
