computers hangs while shutting down, frustrated :-(

[Chief]

Hey gang, I hope someone can help me.

i have a brand new computer, it´s a generic case , has a asrock g31m-s brand motherboard, The computer hangs when shutting down :-(

it´s so frustrating because i have tried everything, the computer will shut down fine when it´s reformatted, but after adding some crucial drivers such as lan, graphics, audio, etc.. it´ll then hang when shutting down.

I tried going to msconfig and disabling all startup items, still nothing.
i´ve tried everything, can someone give me more suggestions or if someone had the same problem can they tell me what they did to solve it ?

the computer will say saving ur settings , etc... but at the point where it is say´s shutting down, it´ll just hang.

This behavior can occur if you have PACE InterLok anti-piracy software installed on your computer. InterLok installs the Tpkd.sys driver, which uses the same IRQ as the Standard Floppy Disk Controller device.

or try this.

Type in REGEDIT and press enter.

Go to the following Registry Key.

On the right pane there is a reg item called AutoEndTasks. Double click on it and change its value from 0 to 1 and reboot after clicking OK as many as necessary to close all open windows.

1. Try Start - Run - type in "msconfig", and click the Startup Tab.
2. Bottom Right, click "disable all", then apply, then close and have it reboot (it will probably still hang on shutdown right now).
3. After you have it restarted, put a check in the checkbox of the system config utility window, and then hit OK. Now shutdown again.
