   hello,
   
   I have a slight problem with WIndows XP Pro with SP2. Everytime I turn off the computer it seems to take ages. Windows seems to close ok and my monitor gives the no signal msg implying that everything is shut down, but the computer remains lighted up for about 1 minute.
   
   Also recently it has just started turning off suddenly. Any ideas on how to sort this would be greatly appreciated.
   
   cheers
