    When did this start?

    Try performing a System Restore to a few days before the problem started.

      Sometimes I have the same problem but I believe it to be caused by a program that won't allow me to shut down until it closes but I don't know what program it is. Here's what I do

      Ctrl+Alt+Del

      Select "Shut Down" Then select "Turn Off". For some reason, this method seems to force it to shut down immediately for me. Give it a try. It's a temporary band-aid.
