Well still unable to dig up anything in any logs that seem relevant or 
useful. Everything relating to the reboots just say switching to run 
level 6. then the next message would be relating to the next boot after 
the hang.

But I have been able to get some smooth reboots (have not tried shutting 
down yet) by enabling pcie_aspm=force and issuing shutdown -rF 1
Doing reboots in this manner gives me about 60% percent success at this 
point.

I have also tried booting with no xorg.conf and had no noticeable change.

If anyone has any other tips/suggestions I am open to them. Thanks for 
your time.
