here we go again so, earlier today at like 7:40 AM (CST, in case) i had to turn off my computer before going to school. it was taking a while to shut down, so i just turned the monitor off since i had to go. like an hour ago (it was about 4:25 P.M. when my mother told me this, so like about 8-9 hours the computer was actually still on), my mother came to turn the computer on, but she noticed that it was still on, so she turned on the monitor and it was still shutting down, so she had to turn off the row of plugs (dunno what its called) and turn it on to turn the computer off and back on. i'm getting concerned because this is the second time it's happened, though strangely it didn't take an eternity to turn it off last night notable things are that it started after i tried to restart my computer because steam was taking an eternity to show the log-in prompt, and then it took an eternity to shut down, pressing the power button on the computer didn't do anything, had to manually turn the row of plugs off and turn them back on, got the usual "Windows didn't shut down properly" screen or whatever my computer is... maybe 3-4 years old at this point, maybe more. windows 7. could anyone help/know what the issue is or is my computer gonna get the final nail in the coffin |

Usually means something is stalling the shut down process; some application (probably a core Windows service) is refusing to let go. Have you looked in the Event Viewer to see if there's any error messages generated at shut-down? |
