    Look in Event Viewer > System Log to see what happens at the time you tell the computer to shut down. It might list whatever is blocking the shutdown.

    If the problem might be at the BIOS level then it's worthwhile trying to do a reset by turning the computer off then disconnecting the mains power, disconnecting the battery and holding the power button down for a minute. Then reconnect mains and battery and start normally.
