GRUB freezes after restart, initiated from Linux

[eDaniel]

When I restart my PC (software restart) from within Linux (I have Kubuntu and OpenSUSE installed) next time my computer freezes at the point where GRUB should be loading. If I restart it again (using the button, because the computer is not responding at all) everything is fine. If the restart is initiated from within Windows (I have both XP and Vista) I have no problems at all.

Summary: After restart initiated from Linux, the computer freezes without any messages. If I restart the PC again, GRUB starts as expected.

- The problem occurrs since I installed my first Linux - Kubuntu (I installed OpenSUSE later)
- I'm able to reproduce this even after booting from LiveCD

I tried many different suggestions but unfortunately without avail.

Let me know what information/logs you need.
