All programs have to shut down before the computer can shut down.I sounds like you have alot of programs running in the background.You can go to the start menu and click on run,when the box comes  up that says open,Type msconfig and click ok.Now a box with several tabs will appear,click on the one that says start up.Now you can uncheck allexcept the ones that say windows system or kbd for the keyboard,now click apply then close and restart computer.When computer restarts,a box may appear that you can check to never show this again.If this does not help,then I would suggest that you have a memory or ram issue and the computer needs to be serviced by a professional.\n\nGood luck and I hope this helps you

1.) did you reboot the computer?\n2.) uninstall and install the Software?\n3.) stop stuff that is comming up on start up that you do not need!\n4.) it may just be time for you to reload everthing.

Have you tried restarting your computer? \n\nYou may need to reboot again or shut it down all the way for a few minutes, and then start your computer. That usually solves those kinds of things! :)

Try the HD on another computer.  If the HD truly was toast the system bios would have gone through its POST and reported a HD failure or no boot up device.  \n\nWhat you might want to try if you find that the HD works on another computer, unplug the power to the comp and all devices attached to the computer, remove the CMOS battery from the motherboard, and let the residual charge drain from the system.  Just a few minutes should do it.  Reinsert the battery and power up the machine.  If the computer boots you will need to go into setup and check all settings, (time, HD, video source, memory) and then boot to windows.\n\nI just worked on a comp that had the same symptoms as yours, and before I decided to pull the HD to put it on my bench system I  popped the cmos battery and it rebooted and is still running two days later... The cmos apparently got scrambled when the PS failed, why I don't know...  just a suggestion.\n\nFre.

Two things I would first check, \n1. Make sure the reset button is not stuck.\n2. Make sure your BIOS does not have the "Wake on LAN" feature turn on, especially if you have DSL, or Cable Internet.

My Computer \nProperties \nAdvanced \nStart Up and Recovery \n-Settings button. \nuncheck "Restart on System failure"\n\nThis will mean that you get a BSOD with an error code - which help identify the cause of the problem

Some startup application or service is likely causing your computer to not finish starting Windows.\n\nRestart the computer and press F8 until the startup screen appears (before Windows ever loads).  Choose the "Save mode with networking" option.  If you get into Windows, click Start, Run, and type "msconfig".\n\nGo to the Startup tab and uncheck everything in there.  Click "OK".\n\nRestart your computer and it should start right up normally.  After you are in, go back into "msconfig" (described above) and, starting at the top, check off a couple of items.  Then click OK and reboot again.\n\nRepeat this until it doesn't start normally.  Then whatever you checked last will be the culprit.  Either uninstall that app, reinstall it, or leave it unchecked in msconfig.

If you have backed up your important files (hopefully) I would suggest reinstalling Windows. If you have important files or email that you have not backed up then I would suggest calling a local computer repair shop and tell them what is going on. The processes we use to get a pc back up and running would take a long time to explain in a forum like this. It can take anywhere from an hour or more to get a computer backed up, cleaned of spyware and viruses, windows updated, etc - it is all dependent on your pc and what is going on with it - there are no easy answers.\nIt could be a hardware problem, but software problems are 10 times as likely. Good luck.

Could be anything of a million and one reasons.\n\nTry taking the CD back out and see if it boots now.\n\nYou might have zapped the motherboard with static.\nYou might have unseated the RAM.\nYou might not have hooked the power supply back up.\nYou might have...\n\n///

You might want to think about reformatting your hard drive and doing a fresh install of the operating system. This is usually a last resort after all other troubleshooting is done. If the install does not work then you might be looking at a hardware problem.
