More info?)
Have you looked in the Event Viewer to see if there's any
correlation (time-wise) in the problematic shutdown and a
program or system event ?
Does it happen in Safe Mode ? If not, it's probably a
device driver that's causing the problem.
Is this system networked ? If so, try logging out before
shutting down.
Also, you might try terminating all processes that are
running in the system tray (next to the clock) before
shutdown.
Good Luck !
