Very slow shutdown
Hello folks.
I am currently having a problem with shutdown. It takes an average of 2-3 minuets for a shutdown to happen on my system (I would like to reiterate the minuets part...). I have gone through the regedit of tweaking waittokill to the min. value of 2000. I have also booted into safe mode (no drivers active) and done a shut down with the same results. This indicated to me that the issue resides within Windows itself. I check the event log and there is a 200 error which tells me that Windows is encountering soemthing that is hindering a shutdown. The log does not give me any information that I can decipher as a cause though. Still, I will post the info in hopes that someone else may be able to pull something from it:

My system is a custom build with a Quad-Core intel processor, 6GB RAM, 3/4TB HDD (500GB SATA & 250GB IDE). My system rates a 5.8 (the bottleneck is the HDD, every thing else is 6+). There should be no lag at any point in this systems operation, so to have it hang for over 2 minuets on shutdown is ridiculous.
Please help me with this problem. Thanks in advance!
