Shutdown Problem

[fr.deniscarterssc at tiscali.co.uk]

I had the same problem after updating ubuntu to 11.10 the computer 
would not shut down but kept re-starting. eventually using hibernate it 
would close the machine.
after being very frustrated I reinstalled 
Kubuntu 11.04 and all is well again.
