Windows 8.1 Shutdown Hangs

Every now and then when I shut down my computer it will show "Restarting" for about 1-5 seconds (My pc is fast) and the display will shut off. But the computer will still be running, the HDD and all are running. I have to do a hard shutdown by holding the power button.

I have found this in the event logger:

"The system firmware has changed the processor's memory type range registers (MTRRs) across a sleep state transition (S5). This can result in reduced resume performance."

Source: Kernel-Power

I heard it having something to do with "fast startup" or "Quick Boot" I am unsure.
