I've done a fresh install of 8.1 RT and all appears to be well except if I shut down.

If I select restart it restarts fine.

However if I select Shutdown, I get the woindows shreen telling me it's shutting down, then the monitor goes blank, but the PC is going indefinitely (I've given it 15 mins)

If I press the reset button on the PC case it reboots into windows without any "windows didn't shut down" type messages during bootup.

However if I check the event log, it does say

-----------------------
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

Windows 8.1 RT < ? RT is for running on ARM processors usually found in tablets. Is this the system listed in your system specs?

Sorry I meant RTM as in the latest build that technet people got.

I've finally solved it after hours of trial and error.

I own a piece of software called Audials 10. That is what's causing the problem, I have posted on their support forum but have it uninstalled for now.

thanks
