Problems shutting down the sytem

[Rahul]

Hi there i am having problems shutting down my sytem, if i hit the shut down
button on xp or restart the whole system my monitor shuts down but my pc
does not shut down for like 5 minutes and takes time. Dont know what to do.
Went in the power management section in control panel to fix the problem but
in vain. Dont know what to do in the bios to fix the problem. I use amd a8n
sli, if any one knows what to do please help me.

If you experience slow logoff (with Saving your settings for most of the
time while logging off), you are having profile unload problems.

If you see a lot of Userenv/1517, Userenv/1524 or Userenv/1500 errors in the
Event Viewer, download and install the User Profile Hive Cleanup Service.

This decreased my shutdown time a bunch. Takes any where from 10 to 20
seconds to shutdown.

C:\Program Files\UPHClean\uphclean.exe is added.

The User Profile Hive Cleanup service gets added to Services and
uphclean.exe will run all the time. I am one that doesn't like to have any
extra services running, but I am sold on UPHClean.

I had the same problem - clicked on Start/Shutdown and it would be a
good 3-5 minutes (timed!) before I would get the Shutdown popup window,
then another couple while it processed that.

I downloaded Hive yesterday having read this thread, and this morning
brought up the pc and took it down again - almost immediate response.
So far it's working good. It was getting really frustrating when I was
ready to leave work and had to wait 5+ minutes for the pc to shut down.
