Hi,When i try to shut my computer down it freezes on the "windows shutting down" page. I cant get it to turn off and moving my mouse or using ctrl/alt/delete does nothing. I cant even turn of the power button it just stays on...the only way to get my computer back is to unplug it and then it works fine,i havent had any other noticable problems.Any ideas?
