Dell Inspiron 6400 Media Laptop 32bit Not shutting down

[paul1149]

I had the same problem here. Booted down to a blinking cursor in the top left of a black screen a few times. I finally booted up and then immediately booted down before opening any apps, and it's been ok since, though it's only been once that I shut it down. I'm on 64 bit, also an older Dell, with nVidia graphics.
