[SOLVED] nvidia geforce 6150SE + nvidia-304xx = X not shutting down

Hello!
I am installing a new arch desktop, using the latest october '13 iso...
I have a nvidia geforce 6150SE video card, so reading the wiki nvidia section I have to use nvidia-304xx...
I have installed it, made the minimal 20-nvidia.conf file, reboot... then as root startx and it shuts down between
Loaded extension DRI2
Loading extension GLX
Should I use some of the nvidia-96xx aur package drivers?

T 61 will Not shut down

A two week old Type 6459 T61 with Vista Business will not shut down. It will sleep and hibernate but will not shutdown or restart (and I am telling it specifically to shutdown/restart). After a bit all disk activity stops and it just sits there telling me it is "shutting down" when it is not doing anything. For as long as I let it sit that is what it is telling me. I must use a hard shutdown, such as the power button (so programmed) or unplugging and yanking the battery if i actually want it to shut.
Any clues? If I shutdown before I log in then shutdown will work. But if i log out and then shut down this will not work. If i restart uing safe mode (after forcing the shut down) then the machine will shut down. Have tried all sorts of variations of shutdown.exe to no avail. Have run with and witout Aero. I am running only Lenovo/MS supplied or branded software in services and processess and disabled all else. I have disabled all startup apps via msconfig except antivirus (presently the Norton that came with the machine) and winamp agent (to maintain file associations) and Lenovo's on screen display. No help.
There are about 50 (I am not exagerating) services and processes runnning when I try to shut down that are not running in safe mode when the machine shuts down properly. I am hoping someone has a suggestion other than to disable each of the service/processes in turn and see if machine will shutdown or restart.
And I do not want to reinstall Vista. Too many commercial apps (MS office, Adobe 9 Professional etc.) that I would have to reinstall.
Have tried with and without Sidebar; no change. Have tried with and without NVidia helper apps; no change. Have not yet used Roxio (supplied by Lenovo) .
So, I hope someone "out there" can think of which processes are the "bad" ones. There seem to be many threads about Lenovo's shutting down when they should not; I have not seen other posts where people are having trouble shutting down when they want to shut down. I would like to think the problem is not with Windows Vista or with the Lenovo supplied software (then it should happen with everyone, right?) but what I would like to think may not count . . .
TIA
Bill

Hello,
Bill please activate your windows services, except may be indexing, they eat not much memory and cpu power.
Vista will need one or two weeks, after you have your programs installed to get fully performable.
I would recommend to uninstall Norton and may me Winamp, if necessary.
Antivir or AVG are much smaller and faster, but also safe.

IMac not shutting down

Ok, this is a problem I've been having for a little while now. So back when I had Mavericks, sometimes (and I do stress sometimes) when I tried to shut down my iMac via the apple drop down menu in the left hand corner, nothing would happen. It would act like it was going to shut down, the little pop up box stating it will shut down in 59 seconds with the little box to check if you want to re-open your windows came up and all. But if I click the shut down button on that box, nothing happens. Usually, if I had mail open, as it was trying to shut down the "Mail" icon at the top menu bar would highlight in blue and it would just stay. I could resolve this by simply opening safari and then shut it down while in safari. Then the screen would go gray and it would shut down with no problem. NOW no matter what I do, after clicking shut down on the little prompt box window that pops up after doing as I stated before, nothing happens at all. I can open apps, etc. but not the finder. I have tried every other way of getting it to shut down but it simply will not any other way then pressing the button. I have a late 2013 iMac with the i5 processor, etc. Now, I've seen threads from others about it taking very long and to try and clear "parallels" but in my daemon folder there is nothing and in my Launch folder there are only 3. None of which were mentioned in any of the threads I've seen. In fact, right now, as I type this, I tried shutting it down about 10 mins ago and here I am still using it. So it's not a slow shutdown. It's a not shutting down at all problem. I should mention that A: I did recently delete a user who when logged into their account, had a more frequent encounter with the first problem I mentioned. And B: after turning it off from the button on the back, waiting about 30 seconds and then turning it back on, If I restart it from the menu where it asks you if which user u want, it seems to shut down fine. Anyone else having this problem?

T530 will not shut down

Just received my new T530 Thinkpad with Win8Pro installed. All was working fine for the first few days and then I am now having issues with it not shutting down all the way. When shutdown is slected win8 logs out and shuts down. It looks to shut down properly but at the point where it would normally shut completly off the power button blinks and the fan keeps running. The wifi light is lit and so is the battery and cressent moon is bliking. It will not respond to anything unless you hold the power button down for 4 seconds and force the system to shutdown.
Could this be a win8 update issue? It did a update a day or so ago but not sure if it is directly related to that...

Welcome to Lenovo Community! Unitedgreg
How about update your T530 with ThinkVantage System Update? I am unsure of Windows 8, from what I know it could be accessible in Control Panel > Lenovo - Update and Drivers.

Mac Book Pro (OS 10.4.11) WILL NOT SHUT DOWN UNLESS FORCED! HELP!!!

My Mac Book Pro 15", 2.33 GHz, 3 GB memory - runninfg Mac OS X 10.4.11 WILL NOT SHUT DOWN UNLESS FORCED! HELP!!!
When I use the SHUT DOWN command in the Apple Menu - programs close, the screen goes to a blue screen with a revolving time indicator and then remains that way until I FORCE SHUT DOWN by pressing the power button - then after a it makes the sound the screen goes black. I have restarted the machine several times and run disk doctor from the start up disk - no problems are recognized. The problem started last night. I upgraded to Mac OS 10.4.11 today - hoping that the update would resolve the issue - NO LUCK! I keep trying to get a successful SHUT DOWN from the apple command - However I have not been able to get it to SHUT DOWN without forcing the power button. HELP!

"... and run disk doctor from the start up disk"
Please explain that one. Disk Doctor was part of Norton Utilities. NU is not supported by OSX and the faster you get rid of it the better. Boot from your Installer disk and run Repair Disk from Disk Utilities. An optional way of shutting down is holding down control-option-command keys and pressing the eject button. When you are having problems address the problem. Upgrading to a new OS version will not solve the problem.
Wht you should try is running the 10.4.11 intel combo updater here:

Windows server not shutting down

Hi guys,
We have installed and configured correctly a PI 7.0
system on Windows 2003 Standard Edition X64-bit with SQL Server 2005.
We are on SP12. Everything, SLD, RFC connections work properly.
The problem was that 4-5 days after the installation the Windows Server
started restarting automatically in unexpected time during the day
(unexpected shutdown), even when anybody didn't do anything in the
system.
SAP suggested us to upgrade firmware, network card and
memory, which actually solved the problem.
However, the problem that we are facing right now is that the Windows
Server is not shutting down. That is, we are trying to shut down the
operating system, but it never does so.
SAP suggested us that it could be a service
which is defined as restart ever, and to try commands shutdown -s/-r -t 00 -f
from CMD, but no result. The server is trying to shut down or restart unsuccessfully.
It remains in a grey page and is trying to shut down itself.
This is a production system and we go live on 01/01/2008! Do you have
any ideas?
Best Regards,
Evaggelos

Server is not shutting down. That is, we are trying to shut down the
operating system, but it never does so.
SAP suggested us that it could be a service
which is defined as restart ever, and to try commands shutdown -s/-r -t 00 -f
from CMD, but no result. The server is trying to shut down or restart unsuccessfully.
It remains in a grey page and is trying to shut down itself.
This is a production system and we go live on 01/01/2008! Do you have
any ideas?

IMac intel 10.6.8 will not shut down. Blue screen comes on and spinning wheel goes round.

My iMac intel will not shut down. The version is 10.6.8. To turn it off I have to use the the power off button. Is there any one who can help me to solve the problem.
The blue screen comes on and the spinning wheel goes round and round until I have to turn it off by the power button.

I am having the same problem on my Mini. I found an earlier thread (now archived) that suggested that this spinning wheel on shutdown of SL has something to do with power management settings. Another idea was that it is related to EyeTV (which I do have running on this Mac).
Any ideas from the community on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated! (I have done the typical steps of repairing permissions and (from the Install CD) running Disk Utility, which reported no problems.)

VB Process Does Not Shut Down After Attaching VM

I am using the axbridge with Java 1.5.0_02 to embed a swing GUI into a VB app. When I close the VB app, the window disappears, but the process is still running.
I believe that part of the reason why I've encountered this problem lies in the way the VB app is implemented. The app is a COM out-of-process server brought up from Excel using...
Object m_tool = CreateObject("VBapp.ToolClass").
To bring down the app, m_tool is set to "Nothing". COM then realizes that no one is holding a reference to anything in the server the VB app is running as, and the server is shut down by COM. Unfortunately, a thread still seems to be running, so the process doesn't die.
Doing a System.exit() or some other equivalent would certainly take care of the process, but it doesn't make sense for my addition to the greater application to descide when the application should be killed. I need Java to shut down cleanly.
Here's why I think Java is not shutting down cleanly. Upon inspecting the process, I find one thread that is still running. Here's a trace of the stack for that thread.

Notice that it looks like we have a call from Java to native code going on.
Java_com_sun_deploy_util_UpdateCheck_handleUserResponse
I believe the UpdateCheck class has something to do with checking to see if there is a Java version update to be had, but I don't really know for sure. I've tried turning off the auto-update feature through the Java control panel, but that doesn't solve the problem. Does anyone have any info. that might shed some light on what's going on here?

I would definitely have given it longer than a minute.
OS X does quite a few things during a shutdown routine. It clears caches, updates them for the next boot, etc. Sometimes this process can take a bit, especially after software updates or major system changes.
Try shutting down again and see if the problem persists. If the computer doesn't turn off immediately, give it a few minutes before holding down the power button.

Help Please B/W G3 crashed and will not shut down...

My old back-up B/W G3 crashed and will not shut down. After the crash my wife who was working on it attempted to restart it and all that happens is the gray screen with the Apple logo and the spinning dial (not multi-colored wheel). This actually happened a few months ago and I've just been using my MacBook instead, but realized there was still some info that we needed to retrieve from the G3.
The only way to shut down is to unplug. I replaced the Lithium 3.6V battery but that didn't help. I tried holding down the apple, command + P, R keys for the 3 chimes and that didn't solve it. I have no clue what else to do. I would love to somehow be able to at least download the info from the hard drive(s), but have no idea if the drives may be corrupted.
Please help with any advice. Many thanks.

You can also try two other methods of Disk repair, without the Install CD:
• Boot up while holding down the Shift key at startup. This forces the Mac to check and Repair its Hard Drive as it boots up, and does not load most extensions. This is called Safe Boot or Safe Mode.
• Boot up Darwin in Single-user mode by Holding down Command and S at startup. When the messages stop scrolling, and it appears to prompt you for input, type:
fsck -fy
which forces it to check the disk, even if it is journaled.
The full story is in this article:

Macbook Pro not shutting down

2011 Macbook Pro with Lion
I only notice the problem with the system not shutting down or restarting, it goes to the grey screen and the I see the spining icon at the bottom of the screen only when I open itunes and have my external seagate goflex 2tb connected through firewire. All my audio and video files for itunes are stored onto the external drive. I can properlly shut down or restart the system with external drive connected for backups or anything else but not after opening itunes.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including your login items.
Launch the application(s) and test. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

Windows 7 not shutting down

HP TouchSmart 520, when PC has been on for any length of time (excess of one hour) PC will not shut down. Message "Shutting Down" appears with rotating circle but PC can only be shut down by holding the power button down. Can't find any useful specific info on the Internet. Any ideas please.Thanks.

Hello fuzzycat:
         Welcome to HP's forum. Here is direction Help and Support says to do:
Why won't my computer turn on or off quickly?
If your computer seems to shut down slowly (or not at all) or start up slowly, or if it doesn't enter power-saving modes, it's possible that a program or device driver is interfering with Windows power settings. You can use Performance Information and Tools to try to detect these programs or device drivers.
To check for performance issues
Click to open Performance Information and Tools.
In the left pane, click Advanced tools.
In Advanced Tools, under Performance issues, click any issues that are listed.
Read the information in the dialog box that appears to learn which programs or drivers are causing problems.
If a program or driver prevents your computer from turning on quickly
You can try the following tasks to fix the problem:
Manage the programs that run at startup. Some programs start automatically when you start Windows. Too many of these programs opening at the same time can slow down your computer. To disable these programs from startup and improve performance, use Windows Defender. For more information, see Stop a program from running automatically when Windows starts.
Check with the manufacturer of the program or driver for an update. A newer version of the program might include a resolution to the problem.
If a program or driver prevents your computer from turning off quickly
You can try the following tasks to fix the problem:
Close the program before shutting down. It's possible that the problem occurs only if the program is running. Try closing the program before shutting down Windows, and then see if your computer turns off properly.
Check with the manufacturer of the program or driver for an update. A newer version of the program might include a resolution to the problem.
If these options don't solve the problem, then the program or driver might be incompatible with Windows. If you installed the program or device yourself and you no longer use it, consider removing the device, or uninstalling the program or driver.
        You can also run PC tune up using HP support assistance, Disk Defragmenter found in Accessories under Tools, If you goto my computer Left click on c. drive Select properties . Then click on tool's tab. Then click Check now and place check marks in next window. Restart computer. This takes about 3 hours to complete.
            If all these steps have failed then preceed to do a Microsoft Restore using your Recovery Manger and select a date before it happen. You will be back to normal again. Please click on Kudos if this has resolved your issue. Thank you frrw.

V570 Not shutting down fully

I have an issue with my laptop, a Lenovo V570 (processor: Intel(R) Core i5-2410M CPU @ 2.3GHz, 6GB RAM, 64 bit) running windows 7 home premium that I need some advice with if possible. When I shut down it does what it should do, ie: log off, turns the screen off, but does not shut down completely as the fan stays on and the power button remains lit until the battery runs flat. I have to push and hold the power button for about 6 seconds to force it to shut down completely. I don't get any error messages on shut down or on start up. These are the things I have tried:
I restored my laptop to an earlier date before the problem started
Took the battery out for an hour or two
Restarted without the battery, just power cable plugged in and shut down
Started in safe mode and tried to shut down but the computer froze (I tried this 3 times)
Tried to do a clean boot with msconfig.exe but when I try and make changes in the system configuration as recommended by the Microsoft instructions my computer freezes and tells me msconfig.exe is not responding (also tried 3 times). All the above have not solved the problem, does anyone have any other suggestions for me?

Swahili,
This is a really odd problem. I working on something similar on an X200 with Win 7 except that in my case it will shut down completely and power off, however suspend and hibernation do not work as intended - they blank the screen but the fan and system continue to run. I'm still working on it - I've tried updating all Lenovo and Windows updates, with focus on BIOS and Power manager, reloaded BIOS defaults, etc. I may try swapping in another drive with a clean image to test to try to rule out hardware.
Recommendations for you to try the basics...
1) Try BIOS update, reload system defaults (F9 I believe, save and exit)
2) Uninstall and reinstall energy cut power managment. Reboot after the uninstall. Try to get the newest version from our support site.
Let's go from there...

Cannot open jpgs Preview will not shut down, color spinning wheel present

Trying to open jpgs and all I get is the spinning color
wheel. The files will not open.
Preview will not shut down even with apple prompt
of instructions on how to do so.
First aid in the OS10 utilities has seemed to disappear, but its still there for OS9.
I've been opening hundreds and hundreds of jpgs the last few weeks, printing and dumping duplicate images, etc...
And now I get this.
Ideas on how to clear this problem up? And ideas as to what the problem is?
thx - Craig

It sounds like it might be a good idea to run the disk utilities (applications/utilities/disk utility) and run the repair disk permissions. I have found that this often solves these oddball problems.
Try completely restarting everything. Run preview before clicking on anything and try opening one of these items from the file menu. does it make a difference? If so, do "get info" on a jpeg image and see if preview is the default viewer for it. If not, that may be your problem. If you have another preferred application you may want to set all your jpegs to open in that application until you get preview straightened out. Best of luck!

Printer not shutting down

At times the printer will not shut down. I press power button and it will be working to shut of for awhile and then will freeze. I then have to unplug it to shut it down. This happens more often than not.

Hi NORCO4655,
I have added a link below that will give you the steps to follow to perform a reset for your printer. If your screen shows shutting down but doesn't shut down it sounds like you need to do a hard reset.
Let us know if this works or if you still have the problem.

If I helped you at all it would be great if you clicked the blue kudos star!
If I solved your post please mark it as solved to help others.
