Perhaps it's a Dell issue... Brian Send a noteboard - 09/03/2010 09:36:49 PM
The only computer I've ever had that problem with was a Dell laptop. When it would try to shut down it would do the exact same thing you just described. I never found a fix for it...just had to pull the battery and unplug it to restart.

I tried many different things to fix it, and nothing, including a completely clean install of windows, fixed it. Good luck though, perhaps you'll have better luck than I did fixing the problem!

It's not an especially slow computer when it comes to other processes. - 10/03/2010 01:34:15 AM 173 Views
