Vista Doesnt Shutdown

uknowist · 3 Feb 2008 at 23:41

Everytime I shutdown it goes to the windows is shutting down screen but it stays on for about 5-10 minutes then goes to a blue screen with random information and starts booting up and asks if i want to start in safe mode. This happened to me last week and i did a system restore to rectify the problem and it did, but now its back and I cant understand why. I have a 64bit OEM version of Vista, its a new build PC of about 3 weeks old.

any ideas :confused:

Thanks.

Could be that something isnt shutting off when it should. Happened to me, for me it was bluetooth that was being a stubbon bast, had to disable it till new drivers were out which solved it.

It's unlikely to be random information - if its the Blue Screen of Death, then it'll be telling you what's wrong!

Next time it happens, make a note of what it says.
