Hello everyone,
My computer (starting yesterday) has been taking 1-2 minutes to shut down once i press the power button or go to start>turn off computer>shut down.
It will just do nothing for a min or two then shut down out of nowhere. It's also taking a little longer than normal to start up, but not as bad.
It's a Pentium D 820 w/1 Gig of ram
I run Ad aware, Spybot, ewido, windows defender and other online scanners regularly so my computer should'nt be infected with anything.

Can anyone help...please! lol

Thanks a lot
Joe

Hi orngcrsh,

You can try the following:

Start > Run > regedit > OK

Navigate to:

[HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]

Set ClearPageFileAtShutdown value to 0.

Always back up your registry before making any changes!!

Hi maca1,

Your right, I missed that one part:

The best bet would be to post a HjT log, I'd imagine its malware, you have already claimed the log so I'll leave you at it.

Cheers.

I doubt your problem is related to malware.
Since you said,it only started happening recently. Did you try a system restore?

start - accessories- system tools - system restore

restore back to a time before your problem

or if you can't, I'd uninstall any recently installed software??

Tried a system restore and it wouldn't finish. ( it stayed on the same screen for about 45 minutes, it was the 'total progress' screen)

I disabled windows defender and uninstalled peer guardian and it worked fine after that.

Which one do you think it was? Does either program have a history of doing such things?

Thanks again for the help... it's greatly appreciated

I'm not sure if i can help or not, but i too, have some diffcult time trying to shut off my computer, well my solution, i noticed that everytime when ever i left a heavy application on such as Azureus or bitcomet it usually takes forever to shut down, but when i x out of these programs then shut down my computer; the shut down time improved dramatically.

hope that help.

stop hoping, start loving.

yeah, it seemed to be either windows defender (new version of microsoft antyspyware...i think) or peer guardian 2. The problem started when i installed those two programs.
Seems like it's running fine now.

They don't have a history but you could imagine them both running would use up a bit of memory. You could try reinstalling one at a time and see how it runs..
