Did you test to boot in recovery mode?
Did you use a live media to check the log files?

Please use a search engine and read the Ubuntu Wiki/help on how to boot
into rescue mode, how to troubleshoot using log files and provide more
information.

An OS can only be that "reliable", as the users of this OS are willing
to report bugs, since only based on a good bug report, distro
maintainers are able to fix issues.

I know that some Ubuntu Wiki/help pages are terribly bad maintained, but
since I several times provided the links related to "recovery mode" and
"troubleshooting" and "log files" I'm sure that they are that good,
that you could provide more information.
