Shutdown Problems, Hjt?

[gfunk]

I have been having problems lately shutting my computer down. Sometimes I will hit shutdown, and the computer restarts. Sometimes the computer just locks up on the "windows is shutting down" screen. When the computer locks I have to manually turn it off by holding down the power button. Even when I do get it turned off a while later I will come by and the computer is mysteriously running with power on.

I have also been getting a lot of windows protection errors lately. I then go into command prompt only, go to scanreg and have to start the computer from a previous cab.

I have Panda antivirus and firewall that is current. I have run spybot and ad-aware. Still having probs! Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!!

"Even when I do get it turned off a while later I will come by and the computer is mysteriously running with power on."

I have no idea about your other problems, but read in a forum once about someone who had the same problem with the computer turning itself on--seems the door on her computer desk was bumping the power button! Your dilemma is probably caused by something else, but until an expert comes up with a fix, you can always check to make sure nothing is bumping your power button.

Oh, and it wouldn't hurt to post a hijack this log. Read the rules above this area to make sure you run the proper version and save it to the right place.

It is something more in depth than something pushing on the power button. Anyone have any ideas where to start looking?

Hi,

This doesn't sound like a malware related problem.

I suggest you post a new topic in the Computer Support forum

Thanks,

Danny
