System Wont Shut Down Automaticly

[aleclair420]

Have a custom built rig, this just started recently but when go to restart or shut down will just sit at Shutting down screen after logging off account and not move no matter how long there.

 

Already reset cmos, uninstall all new programs, ran virus scan and malware scan in safe mode, no error file being generated from this. I have to manually press power button or reset button to get to move from that screen. Only option i see left is a reinstall of windows which i dont really want to have to do but think have to unless anyone here can figure it out.

Have you tried shutting down with a single monitor setup just out of curiosity?

Try disabling speed-stepping, it might be making your system hang.

no havnt with 1 was actually thinking that when posting this.. and bradscoolio unlikey its speedstepping that has always been enabled since build was done over year ago never issue till now. 2nd monitor is a new addon so possible its that..

 

EDIT:  tried single monitor in both dvi ports same spinning circle on shutdown screen hear HDD sounds like something is holding shutdown up some program just cant figure out which one..

 

any one know program maybe record what gets shut down and what dosnt.. fact it dosnt shut down properly tho dont think would be able save it and be helpful.

Go in to safemode and try shutting it down and see if the problem persists

Have you tested your drive? I had one that did the same thing, and found out I had a faulty HDD. It could have been the new windows install that fixed the problem though.

[aleclair420]

regular safemode same thing, didnt bother try safemode with networking or cmd, dont think its drive its a its a SSD and hasnt shown any other sign of issues read/write failures.. its an ssd so not many health programs i have found for it full system specs in sig..  really looking like reinstall only way clear that.. just hate the installing or programs again and updates

go into msconfig, and disable all Services (check the box that says hide all Microsoft services) and all startup items, try it after that, if it shuts down normally, start enabling one by one to narrow it down to whats making it hang.

[aleclair420]

Crew- unlikely to be a service after ts so far, safe mode only has bare minimal services run for windows to boot. I am starting to think the shutdown file or code inside it got corrupt and thats holding up at this point. Safemode eliminated program as possible cause and service running. No new hardware so nothing there, uninstalled all newest programs and cleared their temp files manually in appdata folders..

Do other OSes shut down properly?

 

Try booting a Linux Live CD/DVD/USB Drive

[aleclair420]

i fixed it single os machine have backtrack 5 on disk coulda used but played in registry 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management   ClearPageFile at Shutdown

set to 0 and

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l  WaitToKillServiceTimeout

set to 1000

 

reboot and does a full reboot no hanging for ever on shutting down screen, i hate playing in regedit tho.. can be risky
