Windows 8 won’t shut down

Asked By Nicholas Calderon 40 points N/A Posted on - 08/15/2012

I have upgraded my Windows 7 to Windows 8, at first it was running smoothly but when I tried to shut down, it won't turn off.

I waited about  half an hour but it doesn't turn off. So I forcibly turned it off.

But when I turn it on again it shows a BSD.

I rather go back to Windows 7.

And please share an idea what is that problem

Windows 8 won’t shut down

Hello,

There upon reviewing your question the problem might be the upgrade you did.

Maybe you should do a fresh copy installation of Windows 8.

I also suspected that the reason why you get a blue screen is because maybe because of the upgrade you got a driver issue. My suggestion is not upgraded. Do a fresh OS installation.

Have a nice day!
