Hi wtdafk!
My welcome to PC Helpforum! Well, what is the screen that you see last before you turn off the PC? Is it black or blue background? Bluefish |

Have you tried to wait?
How long have you been waiting for the computer to turn off at the longest? |

Once in a blue moon mine will do the same thing...try waiting a while longer and if that doesnt work try restoring to a say save point and then try to shut down. Hope this helps
