Not able to power of my laptop

[realbrainiac]

Hi...I installed Ubuntu 18.10 on my HP probook 640 G1 and I have not been able to shutdown my laptop. I tried normal power off, from the terminal and even long pressing the power button and my system keeps rebooting instead.

Does that have a removable battery: one that slides off of the bottom? If it does, try that. And, when you get it removed, leave it off for about 5 minutes before reinstalling.

I think the problem is with the current BIOS version installed. I just have to figure a way to update it

I am removing your screenshots because they are not working correctly and have not been attached properly, the second link I do not see any reason for it to be posted if what you intended to post is what I actually saw when I put it into my browser.
