No it's not a Windows problem, I have the same. If I choose 'Reboot' on my laptop from within Kubuntu, then when the laptop comes back up I have no ACPI functionality and no sound. I have to Shutdown and then switch on again to do a proper reboot from within (K)Ubuntu. This does not happen with Mandriva. However on my desktop system a reboot from Kubuntu works fine. I suspect it is an ACPI bug and I reported it to Ubuntu about, oh, two millennia ago.
