Ubuntu 12.04 sometimes doesn't halt completely

I am using an Dell Latitude D830 with Ubuntu 12.04.
Now, when I turn off the pc, Ubuntu doesn't halt completely sometimes.
I think that is due to the latest Nvidia drivers, because in the past with Ubuntu 10.10 I installed the latest drivers released by nvidia and I had the same problem.
By now, "messages" file / var / log is always empty.
My video card is: NVIDIA Corporation G86M [Quadro NVS 135M]
PC will not turn off even with "halt -p".

May be related to this bug seen on Dell m1330, though only seen if using a 32 bit install & nvidia drivers 295.XX - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/940564

Similar question here - Shutdown issues on my Dell XPS M1530

Possible solution other than going back to nouveau or downgrading to nvidia driver 290.20 - Dell Studio 1569 Cannot Shutdown in Ubuntu 11.10 or 12.04
