The computer does not get as far as "It is safe to turn off etc........"

The computer turns off half way through shutting down.
 
Thats how newer PCs work - it shuts down on its own, no
need to press the power button.

Hello!
If the message above is the shutdown issue, stop right
here. You really don't have a problem with shutdown. While
it may not seem like it, shutdown has completed properly.
The problem you have is with powering down or powering off
the computer. Semantics, you say? Maybe, but almost without
fail this can be solved as follows. If you haven't checked
for an updated BIOS, that's the first step, then check the
items listed below.

Click [Start] [Control Panel] [Performance and Maintenance]
[Power Options]
The Power Options Properties Property Sheet will open.
Click the APM tab and check the box to [Enable Advanced
Power Management Support]
If the procedure above didn't solve the problem, check the
registry setting shown below.

Start Regedit and navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Set the value of PowerDownAfterShutdown to 1.

If the value isn't present, add it by creating the string
value PowerDownAfterShutdown and setting the value to 1.
