Hey there,

Its been over a week and i cant switch off or restart my computer from the start menu (Turn off computer-->Turn off or Restart). I have to do it manually by pressing the on/off button.Any ideas?

Also the monitor gets blank for a second and then gets normal again. That happens quite frequently.

Thanks

Check out some of the software on this thread and do some spring cleaning . It may help .

I had a problem whereby i pressed "Shutdown" and it would do the normal stuff, right until the end where it would BSOD... then restart NOT shutdown.

Reinstall of windows cured it.

What happens when you try to shutdown the PC?
It does nothing at all!!It doesnt shut down nor restarts..Only 'stand by' button works. The strange thing is that when i press the button it closes whatever application i have opened (such as MSN messenger,Microsoft office doc, etc) but after that it remains open. With no other solution to use, i turn it off manually..It didnt do it often but since last week it is an everyday habbit.

Thanks for your replies:D
