Computer hangs at shutdown screen

[dawafflemonstah]

Hi! I've OC'd my 6700k to 4,5GHz, and now my pc has started to hang when windows is shutting down. The problem occurs after having used the pc for a while. Especially after somewhat intensive use, e.g.  gaming. The problem is solved by doing a manual reset, and then turning the pc off again, then it shuts down just fine.

 

It doesn't freeze, it just "keeps on shutting down". If I don't reset it manually, it will reset itself, and I can then turn it off normally. 

 

Is this something I simply have to put up with if i want my pc OC'd, or can it be fixed?

 

Running Win7 64bit

 

Appreciate all help, thanks!

Sounds strange, but have you ever tried doing 'shutdown /s' in CMD?

No, my computer knowledge doesn't strech quite far enough to think of that, but i will certainly try

Very, very strange. I've ran into my own skew of problems after overlocking my 1100t. One of which being I can no longer use 'sleep mode' on my PC, or i'll suffer strange CPU hangs and spikes (and massive frame drops ) 

 

I wish you the best of luck finding out what's wrong.
