Great work!

This also solves the problem on my Laptop: dell Inspiron 1720 (Intel Core 2 Duo T7500, Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT)

I did the following:
1) reboot and enter BIOS setup by pressing <F2>
2) use menu: [+] Maintenance -> * Load Defaults

After this I re-enabled virtualization support because I occasionally use virtualbox:
3) use menu: [+] POST Behavior -> * Virtualization

Both virtual console (ctrl-alt-f1) and power down is working now. Don't know what caused the problem in the first place though.

Best regards
Anders
