Under Windows device manager, ensure the device is set to not be able to wake up the OS as well as disable power management. This can affect other OSes in dual boot.

I change the device not to be able wake up the os and not disable power management under Vista.

But I have still the same problem.

Problem solved :

1) gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub

2) Change line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
to add : pnpbios=off acpi=force irqpoll

The line is now :
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pnpbios=off acpi=force irqpoll"

Save and quit gedit

3) sudo update-grub

4) restart the pc

It-s working now.
