Try the defaults, I assume you're also on the latest BIOS?

I second this, I reset my BIOS to defaults, fixed the boot options and the latest build seems to be shutting down nicely.

Or maybe it's just random and it'll start acting up again.

Thanks for all of the thoughts on this thread. Receiving my D34010WYK tomorrow in time to play with over the holiday this weekend.

Most people seem to instinctively install OpenELEC. Has anyone gone down the Ubuntu pathway with this beefier device and had good or bad experiences with it?

I started out with Ubuntu, but had difficulties with it. OpenELEC has everything more recent (plus some patches that are not yet in upstream releases) and seems to work much better. They will trickle into Ubuntu too, but it may take a while.

I don't want to spend time hunting issues that someone else has already fixed.
