Every time i go into shutdown the pc just hangs so i have
to switch it off on the tower. Therefore every time i
start up it goes through the file check system. But i
tried it in safe mode and it shuts down normally and boots
up normaly as well. I`ve reformatted the disc and added no
further software etc, but the problem is still there.Can
anyone help me please. Andy.

Andy, there are many articles out there on many things that can cause
shutdown issues like you are describing. Here's a very good website to
read up on all the things you can check to fix it.
