whenever I shutdown normally (Start>Turn Off
Computer>Restart) my computer will just hang there for
about one minute. the harddrive is not reading anything
and no splash screens are coming up, it just sits there
completely idle. is there anything I can do?

Thanks all!
 
Hi Bryan,

See if this helps:

This edit controls whether Windows should automatically power down or reboot
your computer once it has finished the shutdown process.

This edit automatically ends tasks and timeouts that prevent programs from
shutting down and clears the Paging File on Exit.
