Laptop which immediately reboots on shutdown

The other fix I came across was to make the Bios Windows 7 Uefi
Some Bio's you can select Windows 7 or Win 8.1 boot

I just been round to my neighbours to check her Bios settings ... ErP disabled and Win 8.1 Uefi boot

broadstairs:
This is all very well but my BIOS is nothing like that it is 'Phoenix SecureCore Tiano Setup' at the top of the screen. This is a UEFI laptop which does not run any Windows OS, it runs Linux as I pointed out earlier. None of those settings exist on any BIOS screen.

Ok.... so a quick scoot/google around found your post last year on updating the Bios... I can see no entry for you to change much in the Bios! only later version for selecting Uefi or Legacy!
That only leaves changing the Kernel startup by appending acpi=off :-\

Sorry Stuart cross posting

parkdale:
The reference to Win 7 / 8.1 switch in the Bios, changes how linux handles the acpi tables... :-[

broadstairs:
Yes I was trying to avoid acpi=off as this machine is ACPI V3 compliant according to the service manual. I just tried acpi=off and got immediate kernel panic  :o Yes I have seen about that and there are acpi options one can add to do that where there is no option in the BIOS, and I've done that but does not fix the issue.
