Sometimes, I just get a black screen and waiting for 5 minutes, then I press reset.

Does kubuntu have typically a problem with reboots?
Also, I should say I had Suse 10.0 before and I had no problems with reboots or shutdowns.

vmeldon,
It sounds like an error related to X Window System or the graphics drivers.
1. You could look in /var/log/messages for any errors.
2. I would start in runlevel 3, no X11, and the shutdown to see if your system still hangs.
Using your favorite editor, edit '/etc/inittab'
Change 'id:5:initdefault:' to 'id:3:initdefault'
DO NOT changes the # to 0 or 6. IF you make this mistake you will need to boot into single user mode, mount /etc if not already done, and change the defualt runlevel.
3. If you are able to shutdown while in runlevel 3 then you can be almost asured that it was X11 or graphics drivers.
4. You can also type 'startx' at a prompt to start X11.
