some application that is running and then refuses to close down on its own when you shut your computer shuts down, if you want it to stop happening, run msconfig.exe and then uncheck it in the start up menu, if it doesnt start up it cant be forced to close down, if its some crap you need for your comp to run well then , kill yourself and blow up your computer at the same time cuz i dunno

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.

If the computer shuts down a short while after trying to connect to the internet then it is probably a virus. To verify that, close your internet connection and leave your computer open. If the problem persists despite having closed your internet connection then it could mean a hardware problem. Use one of the freeware internet programs to monitor your computer's temperature. If all appears normal there, it might be another virus (check for abnormal processes or cpu usage at your process manager) or a recently installed DDR chip that does not quite agree with your computer or a software installation that did not complete quite succesfully. If none of the above is the case I should advise going to the hardware store from which you bought the computer and ask some professional advice

turning your computer completely off and back on again by clicking start > shutdown fixes many offline and online computer problems.

There may have been catastrophic damage to your system. I suggest backing up your data and reinstalling Windows off the OS disk that came with your computer.

it seems like some application is initializing while windows is shutting dows, try this, turn off the computer, check if u get the message, then go to control panel, administrator tools, event log and check which application is failing.\nthen go to start-run-msconfig and disable that application from the startup tab. if u dont find it then disable all the unknown applications and click ok nd reeboot. should work.

Did you try using a new cable for the hard drive ? If you are using an add-on display card, try the onboard display card and see if that makes a difference.\n\nIt would be better if you reinstalled Windows. This would help to clear the possiblity of system files being damaged.

try clicking altogether ctrl+alt+delete and click shut down. if it's still not working, you have to contact your pc manufacturer

To disable shutdown:\n\nRegistry Settings \nUser Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER&#92;Software&#92;Microsoft&#92;Windows&#92;CurrentVersion&#92;Policies&#92;\nExplorer]\nSystem Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE&#92;Software&#92;Microsoft&#92;Windows&#92;CurrentVersion&#92;Policies&#92;\nExplorer]\nValue Name: NoClose\nData Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)\nValue Data: (0 = shutdown enabled, 1 = shutdown disabled)

Yes it surely does damages to Your Hard Drive. Thats Why Windows Run Scan Disk After ABnormal Turnoff. You better keep Shutting off your pc properly.

i dunno about the lock-up thing.. but the shutdown thing MIGHT BE the infamous remote procedure call error (RPC) (that is.. if u r using XP).. It would give a countdown before shutting down the pc. It is becos of a goddamned worm. Try running an antivirus scan to flush out the worm.

Well there could be many reasons for this.  One is that you have so many processes running that it takes Windows a lot of time to shut them all down - and/or that one or more of them become non-responsive.  If it is this, then all you'd have to do is wait and it will either eventually shut down or give you the "End Process" screen one or more times.  \n\nIt could also be that your shutdown script got corrupted, somehow, and aborts.  This could be from the reason below.\n\nOne other possibility is that your computer has been infected with a virus that interferes with the shut down process.  \n\nMy suggestion is to try it from Safe Mode (if it shuts down that is).  If it does, get current versions of a few antivirus programs, Adaware, and Spybot Search and Destroy, reboot in Safe Mode and scan with all of those programs.  You should also invest in a good registry cleaner program and run it regularly - believe it or not, your problem could originate from a single registry problem.

Only if you dont restart or shut down your computer can you avoid that welcome windows. \nIf your Compputer can start in hibernation mode, then instead of shutting down your PC, put it in hibernation mode. \nBut that means ur computer is like on 24-7. it takes less power, but its still on! and some times you have to restart wen you install something!!\n\nIn a Hurry, Use HIBBERNATION
