shutdown probs

[Dragon]

Occasionally when I shut down my machine the screen stays on the windows
logging off and I have to press the power button and other times it just
shuts down. I find more when I have done things on the machine it does it,
what I want to know is this and Windows XP problem or is it a video driver
problem. any help for a patch or resolve, here is the spec of my machine
just incase

2ghz
768mb ram ddr
windows xp pro
gigabyte 7n400lp1 mobo
geforce fx 5600 128mb
1 cdrom
1 dvd writer
2 x 40 gig hard drives
300watt power supply brand new in case last week

cheers Dave
