Go to "Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options\Change what the power buttons do" and make sure the power button is set to shut down the PC.

I am having now the same problem. I must hold the power button to force PC shutdown. Quite boring. I do not want to reinstall the OS.

I just hope the upcomming SP1 will fix that!

Same problem here.
Sometimes it shuts down immediately and sometimes it takes forever.
Maybe updating my motherboard drivers can fix it, anyone tried this yet?

I just started having the same problem, my PC screen goes off but my fan are still running. The funny thing is that when I boot under XP, that doesn't happen.

I looked into my device manager and saw one thing that was not OK (can't remember the name, I'm at work). Something like Torenza tunneling... bla,bla,bla. I'll probably try tonight to remove it and scan for new hardware to reinstall it. It says that a key in the register is corrupted and that it doesn't work for that reason. Remind tough that this may have nothing to do with my problem after all.

I think that's what it is. I guess this isn't the source of my problem then. I didn't have the chance to reinstall it (first remove, then scan for new hardware, then reinstall automaticly).

Anybody knows what to do to fix this? Talking about this shutdown problem of course.
