Hi G3NERAL...

Can you describe this problem in a little more depth? Does it occur when you are doing certain things on the machine? After a certain length of time? Using a particular program?

The more information we have on the problem, the easier it will be to help you.

I have a feeling Norton Antivirus is causing this.

Well if you have a subscription with Norton, keep it...

We'll find another way around this.

Try this
click start
click run
type "msconfig" (without quotes)

And go to the Start Up Tab

Uncheck the unneccesary programs ( like AIM,frostwire,etc)

If you are unsure of a program, check back and I or someone else will assist you.

Take your time. Hopefully you didnt disable anything important.. I wouldnt worry because you'll still get into windows anyway

Also, do you have any USB devices installed? Having them plugged in can cause a conflict with shutdown.

Ok. Great, but we need to find the cause of the problem a little further.

Since you do not freeze anymore.. were gonna haft to keep checking start up programs to see which one keeps freezing.

Click start
click run
type "msconfig"
Go back to start up and check one tab each time and reboot.

run your programs and see if you freeze.. if you not keep doing the same thing intill you freeze.
