Computer hangs on shutdown & restart.

Original Title: Shutdown and restarts.
I recently purchased a refurb.
Latitude D620.
I had to reload windows XP and the drivers.
Now anytime I shutdown or restart, the computer seems to hang.
Everything clears the screen except the wallpaper and I still have cursor control with
the mouse.
There seems to be intermittent disk activity. I have to do a hard(push the reset button) shutdown to turn it off.
There are no error messages shutting down nor when I restart.

Hi Tigerll,
Let’s follow these methods & check if the issue persists.
Method 1
If you have any unnecessary external device connected to the machine, you may unplug them & check if the issue persists.
Method 2
a)You may try to boot the computer into ‘safemode’& check if the issue persists.
It will start Windows XP with a limited set of files and drivers.
Startup programs do not run in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are
installed, follow the steps to boot the computer in safe mode:
i.
Restart the computer.
ii.
Start tapping F8 key.
iii.
You will get advanced boot option window.
iv.
Select the option “Safe mode”.
For more information, refer this link: A description of the Safe Mode Boot options in Windows XP
b)If the issue doesn’t persists in safemode, you may configure the computer in clean boot and check if it helps.
It will start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs and helps to eliminate software conflicts.

Cleaning your computer, components, and peripherals help keep everything in good working condition and helps prevent germs from spreading. You can't image how dirty the inside of your computer case can get. All the dust and dirt is going to prevent proper air flow and may even prevent the fan from working.
