Title:
  Random Reboot if I Boot with ACPI On

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  If I boot up Ubuntu 11.10 without sending the apci=off parameter to
  the kernel in GRUB, then after not too long (usually less then 10
  minutes, always less than 20) my computer will randomly reboot. It's
  as if I forced the computer off by pressing the power button for a few
  seconds, then waited 2 seconds, then turned the computer back on. I
  have not noticed any trigger for the reboot; it seems completely
  random.

  I have tried these kernel parameters, but I have experienced the reboot on them all:
  acpi=ht
  pci=noacpi
  acpi=noirq
  pnpacpi=off
  noapic
  nolapic

  In troubleshooting before I figured out acpi=off worked, I tried swapping out lots of hardware. I narrowed it down to being either my motherboard or my CPU:
  Motherboard: EVGA Z68 SLI (model 130-SB-E685-KR) (Intel Z68 north bridge)
  CPU: Intel Core i7 2600 (Sandy Bridge)

  Attached are outputs of lspci -vvnn and dmidecode that I ran with ACPI
  on, before a random reboot stopped me. Also attached are outputs from
  uname -a, /proc/version_signature, and lsb_release -rd. /proc/acpi did
  not exist when I booted with ACPI.

  I have the linux-image-3.0.0-18-generic package, version 3.0.0-18.31,
  installed, but I have had this problem with the Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop
  and Alternate boot CDs, too.

  For a story of me troubleshooting this problem, check out this thread:
  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1942937

  Let me know if you need anything else from me, or want me to try
  anything. I would like to have ACPI working.

  Thank you.
