Tel Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Finally got round to installing this yesterday, within a day ive located my first serious issue, windows refuses to shut down, click on start > shut down, message appears stating "Windows is shutting down" and then we just sit there and nothing more happens. have to eventually do a dirty shutdown in order for the machine to be powered down. anyone else have similar problems/solutions?

Stefano Elia Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Well, its obviously frozen so there's not much else you can do. Unless the loading light is on, in which case leave it, although I can't think why it would be. So just do a 'dirty shutdown' as you call it. If it freezes the next time you shut it down, then there is a serious problem but at the moment, there's not much you can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tel Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 its not frozen, the loading light continues to go round in circles. it was left for 15/20 mins last night and didn't go any further. this is not a one off, i attempted to shut down 3 times yesterday and each time the problem was the same.

lunarworks Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Is Task Manager running? My machine has a hard time shutting down if I leave it open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylejn Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Did you upgrade or do a fresh install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eevo Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 try this, open task manager, hit shitdown, watch what happens. if nothing happens, start killing off processes one at a time, starting with explorer, u might be able to discover which process is holding up the shutdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
