I can login and everithing appears to be working fine but if i need to restart the system it will not load the grub i have to turn off the laptop and then turn it on again this way it load the grub with no problem. Is it a problem with my distro (kernel any bug) or can be this a hardware problem any help please

my problem is with my hardware... the fan sensor of the cpu heat sink is not working properly my laptop over heat

For that I've set up my laptop with the kernel option acpi=off to the menu.lst, then Linux doesn't take over the fan, leaves it in BIOS control.
