I just thought this would entertain someone especially if your upset you can't upgrade the memory on your GPU, well you've just got the wrong type of GPU. I upgraded my graphics card to 2mb of ram
Now I can run windows at 1024*768 with 256 colors at 72Hz.
I am not sure but if this was my computer I'd first try a different OS. Maybe try booting a Ubuntu live disc and shutdown from that and see if it has the same issue. If it shuts down fine it might be some weird OS issue. After that, I'd try removing as much stuff as possible from the computer and just boot from a Ubuntu live disc so you only have motherboard, CPU, minimal ram and if no on board graphics the GPU. If that doesn't resolve it, try swapping out parts until you isolate the offending component. And don't forget to try a different PSU, sometimes they cause weird as hell problems, like maybe its refusing to power down.
This is how I'd try figure out what is wrong but I've never seen an issue like it before.
