You've got too many programs running in the background.  Try getting rid of some of the stuff you don't use in your systray or startup menu.

There could be a lot of reasons for this. It may be that you need to \nreinstall windows.or it could be that there is an issue with your power supply or your motherboard could be overheating.\nI would try reinstalling the operating system first and take it from there.

Goto your CONTROL PANEL and select POWER OPTIONS.  Make sure it is set at a level you want, I assume it says to turn off hard disk after 20 mins...Just change that to NEVER.

I'm assuming you run your computer on for long amounts of time. The best thing to do is to get a cooling pad like mentioned and to slow down the processor so that it doesn't produce extra heat when not in use/under a large load. http://www.pbus-167.com/chc.htm Notebook hardware control is a great program you could look into to see temps and to slow the processor down when you don't need all 100%. It can also help save battery life when you're not plugged in.

it is overheating. chack the fan on the motherboard. Best test is to switch it off for an hour and then start it if it runs fine aofr  awhile then it is a fan problem. Even if the fans are working they may not be running fast enough\n\nterry\nhttp://www.beanwebs.co.uk

Your PC is shutting off, because you have two or more Anti-virus programs installed and they are not compatible.\nYou need \n1 Ad-Aware\n2Anti-virus\nand a good firewall

try CPU (processor) cooler there is an sensor under the cpu socket on the mainboard so when the cpu gets hot it turn`s off the pc and wont turn it back on until it gets cooled down,since you power it manualy

couple of ways to see if it is a hardware or a software fault\n\nfirstly boot into safe mode - restart your pc and keep on tapping the f5 or f8 key then select safemode\n\nleave it in this mode for a while - does it shut down ?\n\ncheck your event viewer for any system errors (in the control panel - administrative - then event viewer) click on the system \n\nsee if this gives you any clues\n\nalso try getting into the bios or cmos setup - again leave it in this mode - does it shut down - if so then you definately have a overheating problem\n\nalso check you in you bios to see if you have a hardware monitor option - if so check the cpu, system temp and fan speeds\n\ncome back to us with your results

Go to www.pcpitstop.com and run its diagnostics.\n\nThis will diagnose whether your problem is:\n- processor too slow\n- not enough RAM\n- disk fragmentation, speed or capacity\n- spyware installed/ OS patches not installed\n\nor a combination of these.\n\nDeinstall any applications you no longer use, and delete, compress or archive any unneeded data.

Try removing programs that you don't use. There may be something shutting down in the background that you don't know is running. Also get a good spy-ware removal software such as Spyware Doctor. There could be hundreds of little spy programs running without your knowledge. When Windows shuts down it must first shut down all of the programs that you have running.

It is shutting down. Your computer just takes a long time to shut down. Maybe it has many processes active or you need to cleanup your files.

There could be issue with the BIOS. Check for your computer Motherboard vendor.\n\nThere could be BIOS update.\n\nSynchronizing the time online is a temporary solution. Once you disconnect from Internet it will again go back.

you can turn it off and then it will be extremely slow or you can turn it on and it will be fast and working lol.\n\nSeriously the BIOS should let you over clock it but its not a good idea :)

Go look at your power settings in the control panel and disable standby.\n\nWhat happens when you use the start button to shut down the computer?  SOmetiomes viruses and bad stuff will hang during shutdown. Make sure your antivirus software is up to date and running.

Its probably ur motherboard's that causing the slow down. Try reinstalling ur drivers for ur pc (graphics card, sound etc.). If it doesnt work, reinstalling SP2 might help, most of the time, its just a rare one-time error

You got to cold reboot it here is what you do: first you click shut down and then let it shut down, then unplub every thing to your computer. Wait for about 10 mins. then restart
