Shut down problem

I have an intermittent problem when I shut down ME from the Start icon.

I select 'Shut Down'. The screen goes blank BUT the lights on my HP Internet keyboard stay on as does the green light behind the on/off button on the system unit.

The only way then to shut down, is to hold down the on/off button for about 5 secs after which all lights go off. The only problem is that when I next switch on the computer it detects an improper shut down and then goes all through the scan disc routine before I can get back to the desktop.

Any ideas as to what might be causing this and solutions would be much appreciated.

Richard
