I did the shutdown trace again, this time using selective startup in msconfig, the only services running now is the group policy client, rpc endpoint mapper, task scheduler, and nothing is checked in the startup options.... and I still have the same issue... well over a 2min shutdown after the screen goes black saying no video signal. http://hotfile.com/dl/78060104/9491f73/trace.rar.html

I can't really tell, but I think now the services /start up items are not the problem, I can go into safe mode, then choose shutdown, and the pc completely shuts off in 5 seconds. I've tried disabling everything through msconfig for startup / services and it made very little difference maybe 5 seconds at most. I finally tried something different, I disabled my video card in windows 7 device manager, and with that done my pc will shutdown in 15 seconds! I've tried different drivers, using driver sweeper, to remove all traces of my GTX 470's drivers, and reinstalling the drivers again, and even drivers from maybe 4 months ago... same issue, very very slow shutdown... Maybe an incompatibility of some kind? or hardware resource conflict? I can't see 2 or 3 versions of drivers having the same issue... other then my shutdown issue my video card is rock solid, playing any of the recent games... So, I'm at a loss other then to say its video related... If this helps, my video card is a Galaxy GTX 470, MB is an Asus p7p55d-e pro, OCZ Vertex 2 Extended 60GB, 4 Gb G.SKILL Ripjaws Series DDR3 1600

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well I've been trying to find the culprit for a while with the slow shutdown issue I the fws.exe is part of my internet providers firewall, I disabled that, also the avgidsagent.exe seems to be part of the avg security, that program has already been removed for a while, and I stopped it from running in msconfig through the services tab along with windows search, however the I was running bitdefender and removed it because some people were saying thats probably the issue, it was not. As for scheduled tasks I don't think I have anything scheduled? is there a way to check?

Hi, I'm running windows 7 with an ssd, it only takes around 30 seconds to boot, but shutdown is the problem... It says windows is shutting down the spinning circle freezes, nothing for another 15 seconds, then the screen goes black and with no signal warning from my monitor, and even after that it takes another 2mins for the pc to finally turn off... Please can someone take a look at whats happening http://hotfile.com/dl/77863146/5c11cee/trace.rar.html
