Earlier, I pressed restart and shutdown and neither of them worked. I pressed them at least 10 times, and even let the background turn grayscale(not sure if it helps, but did it anyway).

I think it has something to do AVG, since it happened before after I closed AVG Ant-Spyware. This time, I closed AVG-Anti virus and couldn't get any buttons to work.

The buttons actually had their little "animation" and it showed them being pushed in, but nothing happened.

Everything else worked fine, but I hadn't tried Standby.

I've had this occasionally, usually related to some program not closing properly.
Though I'm not using AVG, it might have been the offending program in this case.
Usually a forced restart fixes it. (Use the physical reset or off switch)
Report back, if you are now continually getting problems shutting down.

You could all ways submit a hijackthis log if your otherwise concerned.

Yeah, it's probably like trying to open Firefox when it just exited from some error and hasn't fully closed.

I'll update later tonight when I try to turn off my computer.

I've had this a couple of times - usually when I try to hibernate .... it winges about having not enough resources (which is rubbish) and a little exclamation mark (if I remember correctly) in the task bar. (I can then only Standby - if I am lucky)

I have nothing else running .... bit bizarre.

Yeah, but I never got anything. I pressed Restart or Shutdown, and all that happened was my icons "flicked". No little exclamation point, pop-ups or warnings.


But, it hasn't happened again since then.
