If I leave the system config on the normal start up systme will freeze when
turning off pc if I leave it on the selective start up system will shut
normally. Would anyone know of this problem? Thank you
 
One of the items that you have disabled in Selective Startup is causing the
problem.

Do NOT use msconfig to change your services.

Use services.msc *NOT* msconfig.exe!

Start | Run | Type: services.msc | Click OK

Why can't I use msconfig to change my services?

[[The reason is because with msconfig and Hardware Profiles, you can disable
services that may be vital to boot your system. With the management console
(services.msc) you cannot. Also, msconfig, while unchecking the box, is
disabling the service.

The "Disable All" button also scares me. It should not even be there as no
reason exists to justify disabling "everything."]]
