XP wont shut down

cdawall · Mar 31, 2008

the system i built for my GF wont shut down its weird it just sits on the windows is now shutting down screen. anyway to fix this?

das müffin mann · Mar 31, 2008

unplug it?

i had that problem a while back, i didn't really find a soulution, i had to do a fresh install, also has it only done this once?

WhiteLotus · Mar 31, 2008

agreed, mine sometimes does this, i just switch it off at the plug. its never done it harm.

MiST91 · Mar 31, 2008

did it ever shut down?

like, before you installed drivers, software.ect?

dwax · Mar 31, 2008

Mine dose that also. Most times its on "Saving Your Settings" Sometimes it hangs for awhile and others it will not shut down. Did a search on Google found XP is notorious for this problem.

I've seen this and suspect it's something to do with power management - as part of a driver. I had the issue long while back with an older graphics card. When I replaced the graphics card, loaded new drivers, the problem went away completely.

That's a problem with no cure unfortunately. I've had it many times and never been able to fix it short of a complete reinstall.

just unplug it if you don't want to reinstall. Never comes to any harm.

i aslo got the same problem, but ive noticed it happeing only after ive had my os installed for a very long time or after ive installed alot of apps and games and unistalling them.

Reformat and install is best way

I got that same problem, but with Vista 32 Ultimate. It went away when I did a fresh install of Vista 64. How queer...

cjoyce1980 · Apr 1, 2008

you could away try the DOS shutdown command

shutdown /s /f

this will force a shutdown, had with with mine a few times but once it comes back up is shutdowns fine after that

"System processes and applications occasionally maintain connections to registry keys in the user profile after a user logs off."

Check for event id's #1517 and #1524 ....if you are getting them read here.

Had trouble with XP hanging at close down before,this helped it.

thanks guys when i'm there later i'll check all these out hopefully it fixes easy

I'd imagine it is one of the many bugs that ails Windows that MS just simply ignores, such as uPNP causing icons in the system tray to not show up, or the arrow on the system tray vanishing... I could go on and on... lol. XP x64 does this sometimes as well, although it happens less frequently. All extremely anoying, but not important to the software god.
