Look up the BIOS settings for your computer (google). You may have to
press F8 or such to get into bios, then check your bios settings for
power, etc. My guess would be that something is off in your bios,
particularly if this also occurs with Windows when you dual-boot. You
may have to update the bios, reset to default, etc., but other than a
valid hardware fault I suspect that is where your problem is.
