    Doesn't shutdown or restart

    Every time I try to shutdown or restart the Windows 7 build 7000, it doesn't do anything. I have to press the power button and shut it down manually.

    What can be the problem?

    Well it's working fine for me, perhaps your drivers are incompatible. Try booting into Safe Mode.


    Best

    Doesn't really sound like a driver issues i'm not even sure a driver is used in that process I think Its just a command that windows sends to the bios, could be wrong. Does It even act like it's trying to shut down? Give you and Error Message? Freeze up? can you here any hard drive activity start up right after you hit shut down (or hd drive light start Blinking)? Sounds Like a bug to me. Anybody reported it yet?

    It does nothing. It just sits there. Never shows any signs that it is trying to shut down or anything...

    Yeah idk if anyone reported it yet or not...

    Well I have reformatted 5 times since using Windows 7. There is always some little error that happens that makes A LOT of errors and then makes my computer nonoperational.

    Anyway anyone finds a fix then let me know mean while I really don't care because I don't shutdown my computer anyway. But it would be nice to fix so i know it works...

    I am going to guess that you have a program installed on your computer that is interfering with the shutdown and restart of the system. I have heard no one else report such an error yet so it does not seem to be the beta. Can you list all software packages you have installed on your pc?
