Computer Freezes at turn off

[StevenNevets]

When ever I go to the start menu and hit turn off or try shutting my computer down through other metholds - ctrl/atl/del or shut on the login screen

My computer just freezes... it just sits there with that loading screen and nothing happens..


Now when I hit the power button it turns off and back on just fine but I feel using this method to much may cause some more problems so I need to fix this...




Why could this be happening and how could I fix it?




Thank you in advance

never happend to me before, but id try closing all your programs in task manager, close everything and then try to restart using that method, maybe a program isnt allowing you to shut down... You get those "end now" messages right?

in general I get those messeges ya...

not during this proccess though...


the only application that takes up a lot of the CPU is "system idle proccess" which can't be closed

The system idle process is a dummy process. It doesnt use any resources. When idle, you want it to be as close to 100 as possible.

A couple of iedas. 1) check your event logs under Administrative Tools. 2) UPHclean, a free download from Microsoft, may speed up the shutdown process if some app is holding the User Profile Hive open - look for warning messages in the event logs.

 

[StevenNevets]

UPHclean didn't work

I doubt that this is a hardware problem.
If I were you, I would post this in the OS forum.
