Could you please edit your grub:
You can do it with GUI method;
Code:
pkexec nautilus


or if using Zorin Lite
Code:
pkexec thunar

and navigate to /etc/default/grub
or you can do it in terminal with
Code:
sudo -H nano /etc/default/grub

Change line "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" to:
Code:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi="

Save and Exit then reboot.

EDIT: Swarf and I appear to have been tryping at the same time :D
