Most times it's a problem with Windows stealing everything away from Linux. Could be hardware associated as well, but have you tried, rather than rebooting from a Windows session, just shutting down the machine completely then restarting it into Linux? If that works, maybe you want to think about having only a Linux system with Win running in VMware or Wine inside of Linux?
