When you say not shutting down, do you mean it just hangs when its saving settings / shutting down, or just leaves you with an "it is now safe to run off your computer" screen?
Check in your power options that you have APM enabled if you are not using ACPI (which BTW sucks IMO).
The other cause may be that you have a rogue app or service that is not shutting down and causing your system to hang.
You can use something like X-Teq setup ,or manually change the registry keys to make the timeout shorter, and autokill dead hung apps.
Hope this helps
