    Guys I need your help again. After finally doing a clean install on my new sony laptop and getting all of the drivers to work properly I am having the most annoying problem.

    Whenever I go to shuit down or restart the ocmputer it never shuts down! The computer just stays at that blue "Windows is shutting down" screen and never turns off and I have to always hold the power button to get it to turn off and then press it again to turn on. Does any1 have a clue how to fix this or why this is happening? Everything is working perfectly once Im in Windows.

    It just seems like it does not want to power down.
