Hangs on shut down.
Recently my computer has started to hang on shutdown... Sometimes it takes a long time then it shuts down, other times, I believe I've gone to work and come back and it's still stuck.
It doesn't stick at the these programs are open screen, it goes to the shut down background and just says please wait.
Also since this started happening, and I just shut it down by holding the power button (after it hangs for too long), when turning it on, it stops in the bios screen and says
*Warning: System BOOT Fail*
Your system last boot fail or POST interrupted
Please enter setup to load default and reboot again.
F1 to continue
DEL to enter Setup
I just hit f1, then select windows to start normal (since it didn't shutdown properly I get the option of safemode).
I haven't changed any hardware recently.
