I had a similar experience to Andrew. I was using my phone as my wireless link because I was having problems with my network card. The phone was attached via usb. I recently got my card sort of fixed and therefore stop using the usb connection. So are any of you guys using usb network devices or some other type of usb device that would cause this. Although it does seem to be centered around network issues by the looks of everyone else's posts.

Sometimes the pc shuts down but ends with the ubuntu splash screen and gets stuck there. The issue may be driver related: I use the AMD/ATI FGLRX graphics driver. I have a second pc where I also did the update to 11.10 and there I have no problem at all but I don't use the above driver but the NVIDIA graphics driver. Both pc's have Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit.
