Previously I posted a similar question, and I didn't find the solution. I had Ubuntu 16.04, which neither turn off nor restart. I formatted the hard disk then I installed Linux mint "Serena", I had hope that this time would be working, but the initial problem in shutdown remains. I installed the corresponding updates for the operating system, and nothing happens. Before I tried too with settings on grub file, what more to do?

My previous post in Ask Ubuntu:

I had an ubuntu 16.04.2 installed in a notebook hp. The problem
started when I noticed ubuntu was enabled to shutdown correctly. I
means, show the screen of poweroff but freeze. And finally I pressed
the button ON/off to force the shutdown. I bear this problem throught
this time, but this week I had the chance and time to format my
notebook and reinstall ubuntu. I downloaded ubuntu 17 and installed
it. Started other trouble with ubuntu 17, It stands frozen suddenly, I
can't do anything, neither open terminal. Then I do a format again, I
reinstalled the old ubuntu 16.04.02 from a booteable pendrive.

I began the test, the problem of shutting and restarting is keeping!
Now I don't know what more to do. Someone can help me solve this?

Linux Mint 18.1 "Serena" is based on Ubuntu 16.04, so it's normal if it still doesn't work.

Looks like a regular driver problem though. Full support for Intel Atom-based laptops on Linux is not easy, so that'll generally takes time.

 

However, before trying anything else. Did you updated your Ubuntu to 16.04.3 ?

If you did, just install Ukuu by following this: tutorial, to install the latest LTS Kernel -and drivers-, which is 4.14 and see if things gets better.

 

Also, for stability reasons, please never ever install any Ubuntu releases outside LTS.
