The os hangs on the logo screen and all the orange dots are filled. The hard drive shuts down as you cant hear it spinning.
Btw, I'm very much a noob at Ubuntu!

I have no clue its just a standard Ubuntu install so I guess 1? – Toby Hallam Oct 17 '15 at 13:06

When you boot into ubuntu there should be an option that says Advanced, if you enter that menu then you can find the other kernels, boot using that kernel and see if the problem persists. – Raphael Oct 17 '15 at 15:09

I had this problem mine was because of monkeying around with plymouth if you didn't monkeyed with plymouth then this should fix your problem
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub And modify the line :
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" It to obtain this line :
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="acpi=noirq acpi=force apm=power_off quiet splash" Then, save, close, and back in the terminal, execute :
sudo update-grub
have a nice day :)
