Crash after every shutdown in grub when starting ubuntu

Question

I am using an Lenovo Yoga 720, and I am experiencing crashes after each shutdown. To explain it further...

I shut down the computer and it works properly. When I try to boot after that shutdown the computer freezes after choosing to boot ubuntu in grub.

I am able to proceed by turning the computer of with the power button and boot again. This time everything work as intented. I disabled silent splash so you should see output from grub in terminal, but on a failed boot, I never get to the terminal.

Has anyone experienced this behaviour before?

Background info:

Lenovo Yoga 720: 7700hq,
16 gb ram,
500gb harddrive,
Geforce 1050.

I use dualboot with Windows 10 and ubuntu 17.10 with kernel 4.14

since it's the kernel with working trackpad drivers for my computer. I have also installed the proprietary nvidia drivers, which solved the unable to shutdown problem many users faced.

I've followed the answer from rubo77 in this question to install ubuntu 17.10 from a fellow user.

I've tried the journalctl -b1 to see if there was anything from the boot but it does not exist.

After having shutdown linux, do you use Windows in between or direct boot to linux again which then results in the crash? In addition: removing splash quiet from grub might add some details to the boot process and could help diagnosing the problem. — dufte, Dec 12 '17 at 08:14
I disabled splash quiet and I saw when I tried this again, and I now saw that it is grub I\m stuck in. I`ve edited the question. — user3061876, Dec 12 '17 at 08:37
How do you shutdown? Do you see the same behavior if you shutdown using sudo shutdown -h now? — terdon, Dec 12 '17 at 08:53
did you run sudo update-grub after removing the silent splash option? — dufte, Dec 12 '17 at 09:57
I used the normal shutdown and shutdown in terminal. I tried -h and it's the same behaviour. — user3061876, Dec 12 '17 at 10:04
Yes, I ran sudo update-grub. I see the terminal on a successful boot. — user3061876, Dec 12 '17 at 10:07
