Windows 7 shutdown but laptop wont turn off
This happened a few days ago. Window 7 shutdown fine, screen goes black, fan about to stop, but the fan and hard disk makes a start up sound with the screen still turned off, then my laptop just stuck there for hours. I had to normal shutdown then force shutdown with the power button every time. The same thing happen to sleep too, screen turned off with fan running full speed, then I had to force shutdown.
I have tried Safe mode and Clean boot(with all services and startup enabled), both preformed shutdowns successfully.
Side note: I reinstalled win 7 a while back, but i just found out I have no system restore points when I thought maybe a system restore would help. The system restore was turned on for a missing partition. Its fixed now.
Edit: about those Safe mode and Clean boot restarts. I just tried to restart normal, and my laptop restarted like nothing is wrong! so it can restart just not turn off. oh my
