efa, as per http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/K50IN/#support_Download_8 an update is available for your BIOS (223). If you update to this, does it change anything?
If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-223 needs-upstream-testing regression- potential ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1036879 Title: reboot never shutdown and restart the notebook Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: with this notebook (Asus K50IN), the reboot does not work, while a simple shutdown switch off the notebook. Sending a reboot command, either via Gnome shell, or init 6, do all the shutdown procedure, until "the system is restarting", but never do the restarting. I had to switch off the notebook by hand, holding the switch for 4 seconds, and then switch it on again.
