I tried with to boot options, but no luck... and just noticed that my 
suspen to RAM is also broken. Which I don't care because I don't use it.
But the shutdown problem does annoys me.

It is weird, because if I shutdown right after turning it on it works 
fine, it is usually after a while of using the computer.
If I could only know what to monitor or troubleshoot this. I have tried 
so many things.
But since I don't know how to trigger the problem is difficult.

Cheers!

Will now halt

Then it will be there like for 10 seconds and then it goes to a

It might have to do with ACPI or APM. I remember to have had similar
problems a few years ago with a desktop. 

Try experimenting with the following boot options: noapic, apm=off, noacpi,
acpi=off
