does the monitor go black or show a no signal warning, or does it show any windows screens when it shuts down?

you have a driver or service(program) that is not terminating. see if you can press ctrl+alt+delete to bring up the task manager and see what is still running. if you cant i have seen nvidia display drivers, other odd drivers, anti virus programs and spyware apps cause this. can also before you shut down open the task manager and try ending the process on the items running one at a time shut down, see if it hangs, to narrow down what program or service is causing this. and it could be bad drivers.first i would try updating every driver 1 by 1 to the latest version, if this has no effect check for bios updates. they usually have a list with them that show the fixes they apply. this could be a known problem and the bios update patch it. also make sure to update your chipset drivers. could be a aspi problem.
