13.04 Reboots instead of Shuting down

**casey5** · August 25th, 2013

Hello,
I just installed Ubutun 13.04 onto a Comptuer with a Intel DH87RL Motherboard, and when I try shutting down.

sudo shutdown -h now

or

sudo shutdown -P now

the system turns of for maybe a second then reboots. I've tried the "acpi=force", and "acpi=noirq quiet splash", and "acpi=off pci=noacpi apm=force" fixes I've found via google.

I've looked at my mother board bios settings, and disabled all wake on "etc".

Any Thoughts?

Howdy. Welcome to the playpen

Did you install 16GB of memory on your motherboard?
If so, the problem might be related to this: Intel DH87RL continuously rebooting with 16 GB Memory

If you don't think you're affected by Intel's problem with your motherboard, then try the following:

Put the BIOS back to the way it was before you tweaked it, or load the factory default settings into it.

Then try the following kernel boot parameter settings, both of them at the same time,
Note that there must not be any whitespaces in the value string for the reboot parameter:

Code:

"acpi=force reboot=a,b,p"

If the kernel boot parameters, given above, end up working, you should run further tests on the reboot parameter values to narrow them down to a single one, for example:

Code:
