Hi

Please lock your CapsLock button and hit it once:

For shutdown/restart problems, have a look at MVP Jim Eshelman's web page:

I cannot give you the exact cause of the problem you are
having, but try holding the power button on your pc for 5-
10 seconds, this should shut the system down and
hopefully eventually cure the problem. It worked on mine
after a few trys.
