its a known problem of acpi . the kernel freezes up .
i had the same problem. here is the fix :-
-Just goto ubuntu (you will get 2 minutes or so do the whole thing so keep things fast ;))Make sure to login as admin !
-type in terminal
" sudo gedit /etc/default/grub"

-find the line "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX"=""
-replace it as "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX"="acpi=off"

Save it and exit .
then type "sudo update-grub" in the terminal .
Restart you computer .It should work fine !

See if that works for you !
