it is not shutting down that is the problem.  Either the sound card is flaky 
in which case from time to time both Mandriva and Ubuntu would also fail to 
produce sound upon start-up OR the problem is with the OS not correctly 
initializing the sound card upon boot up.  Any values left in componet parts 
are supposed to be reset to the values the OS requires when it boots the 
system up.  Mandriva seems to handle this fine as does Ubuntu on your 
computer, the other one clearly seems unable to handle this usually simple 
task.  Does it also re-display your previous OS's  last monitor screens?
