Shut down problem

[snidy1]

When I go to shut down or reboot my system, I go through the normal steps, press ok, and nothing happens. But when I do it a second time it works normally. This wouldn't bother me once in a while, but it does this every time.
Any advice as to what it might be?

Doesn't anyone know what might cause this?

Thanks for the link, but I don't have a wireless Network Adapter. I did just install 2 SATA RAID 0 HD's though, but not for my C drive. Could that cause it somehow?

I can't figure this out. Is it hardware or software?

 

[snidy1]

Still having this anowing problem, doesn't anyone have a sugestion? I'm getting ready to reformat and do a fresh install. But I'd rather not.

don't know, but:
you could try this in a bat file

shutdown -r -t 0

quite fast, and nice to use with TypeAndRun.

If you just changed something and this started, obviously, you should remove the change and see if you can then shut down normally. Have you done that?

Does it shut down normally in safe mode?

Does it also happen when shutting down via Task Manager?

 

[snidy1]

It happens when shutting down in safe mode and task mgr. The only hardware change I made was I added 2 hard drive in a RAID 0 config. I reformated and started fresh before doing so. The RAID set up isn't my OS drive. I'd rather figure out this problem without having to take them out, but I guess that's my next step. It should just be some configuration problem that I'm missing though, if that's the cause.

Given that it would take just a moment to remove the RAID card and then re-test, I think that's the simplest next step.

Try a System Restore to before you made the RAID change. That should confirm the root of the problem - something in the Registry that got changed.
