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.

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. Same with upstream kernel 3.5.1
