Since I upgraded to 8.04, I am facing similar problems on my laptop and on my desktop. Both have Pentium core 2 duo, the desktop running Ubuntu 32 bits and the laptop running Ubuntu 64 bits. When I choose the shut down option in gnome, it start as usual, showing the Ubuntu black screen and the orange bar disappearing at the left side. When that bar is gone (the bar space is completely black), it stops in that way and the computers don't shut down. In order to turn it off, I need to press and hold the power button. I didn't have that problem with Ubuntu 7.10.
