Latlely when I attempt to shut down my Hp Pavilion dv6 3230 us Laptop it goes through the normal process I believe, however, the screen shows "shutting down" but it will show the screen forever until I plug out the power supply. All of the keys and combinations of keys are inoperable including the mouse.

If I sign on to Internet Explorer after I sign out of Firefox, and then sign out of Internet Explorer the Laptop will shut down successfully.
