I have a pc with windows 2000 which does not completely shutdown. When I select shutdown, it goes through the steps to shutdown, but then it just hangs at a dark screen with a blinking cursor(bar).

Please let me know how to resolve this issue.
Thanks...

Try disabling the Fast Find
Check the video card and make sure that you have the latest drivers.
Check for any applications that are still running in the background,such as anti virus
Check the memory to see if it is seated properly and that you donot have mismatched sticks.
